Psg’s akliouche pursuit gains momentum as monaco softens stance
Paris Saint-Germain appears to have intensified its efforts in recent hours to secure the transfer of Maghnes Akliouche. The young talent could potentially step in as the successor to Lee Kang-In, who seems poised for a move to Atlético de Madrid. The Parisian club, which had already shown interest last summer, might even receive a pleasant surprise in this negotiation, as AS Monaco is reportedly set to demand a significantly lower transfer fee compared to a year ago.
This summer, PSG is committed to continuing its transfer market strategy, focusing on recruiting promising young French talents. In line with this objective, the prospect of acquiring Maghnes Akliouche has resurfaced recently. Already a target last summer, the French international remains firmly on PSG‘s radar, with the club reportedly deciding to accelerate negotiations as Lee Kang-In’s departure to Atlético de Madrid becomes increasingly likely.

Indeed, PSG has seriously reignited this transfer avenue, and developments could now unfold rapidly, largely thanks to the excellent relationship between the Parisian hierarchy and AS Monaco. Crucially, while the Monégasque club was reluctant to part with Maghnes Akliouche last summer, they had set a very high asking price of €70M for his transfer. This situation has reportedly shifted considerably; ASM is now understood to be under pressure to sell and will therefore be unable to maintain such elevated demands, especially given that Akliouche‘s contract expires in 2028. The exact sum Monaco expects is not yet specified, but it will undoubtedly be significantly lower than the €70M sought last summer.
akliouche awaits world cup conclusion
However, despite the potential for a swift resolution between PSG and AS Monaco regarding this deal, Maghnes Akliouche recently expressed his desire to postpone discussions about his future until after the World Cup. He stated, “Will the next step be a transfer this summer? Yes, but honestly, I am truly focused on this World Cup. I know anything can happen, even during the competition. It’s a huge platform for exposure, but I remain concentrated on the national team’s objectives. I also don’t want to disrespect my club by talking about transfers now. There are other matters to manage.”
