With the anticipated departures of Gonçalo Ramos and Kang-in Lee, PSG faces the task of reinforcing its attacking options this summer. This necessity explains the Parisian management’s strong interest in Maghnes Akliouche, who is currently 24 years old and representing the French national team in the World Cup. Despite being under contract with AS Monaco until 2028, Akliouche is widely expected to leave the principality club this summer, and PSG appears to be in an advantageous position to secure his signature.

“He wants to sign for PSG”

A prominent voice in transfer news recently revealed that the French international’s move to PSG is very much on track. It has been stated that “The agreement with Akliouche is not an issue; he is very close to a transfer to PSG. He wants to sign for PSG, and Monaco is aware of this. Currently, Monaco and PSG are engaged in discussions and negotiations. Monaco has already declined two offers from PSG, not solely due to financial considerations, but also because they believe Premier League clubs might enter the fray for Akliouche in the coming days or weeks.”

Akliouche remains guarded about his future

For his part, when questioned on June 18 during a press conference with the French national team, Maghnes Akliouche remained non-committal regarding PSG and his future. The AS Monaco offensive midfielder stated, “I understand why this question arises, but for now, my focus is entirely on this World Cup. It is the most magnificent competition, and I am delighted to be a part of it. We will truly remain concentrated on this tournament.”
