With the 2026 FIFA World Cup captivating global audiences, Paris Saint-Germain is making bold moves in the transfer market. The club is stepping up its ambitions ahead of the summer transfer window, with a particular focus on midfielder Maghnes Akliouche. The French international, who is currently representing his country in the tournament, has already made his intentions clear regarding his future.
As PSG celebrates back-to-back UEFA Champions League triumphs, the club is preparing for a high-stakes summer transfer campaign. Club officials are accelerating efforts to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season under Luis Enrique. Among their top targets is the 24-year-old playmaker, who has emerged as a key figure for AS Monaco and the French national team.
Akliouche’s transfer decision revealed during World Cup action
Despite interest from elite clubs in the English Premier League, including Liverpool and Manchester United, Maghnes Akliouche has reportedly chosen Paris Saint-Germain as his preferred destination. Sources indicate that the attacking midfielder has made his stance clear: if he leaves AS Monaco this summer, it will be for the Rouge-et-Bleu. His declaration comes at a pivotal moment, with the world watching as he competes in the 2026 World Cup.
PSG’s summer transfer strategy takes shape
The next hurdle for Paris Saint-Germain is securing a deal with AS Monaco for Akliouche. Financial flexibility appears to be on the club’s side, with potential funds freed up by the impending departures of Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan and Kang-In Lee to Atlético Madrid. The French international may not be the only arrival, as reports suggest PSG is also advancing talks for defenders Yan Diomandé and Alessandro Longoni.
