According to a report, Maghnes Akliouche would like to switch to Paris Saint-Germain. The 23-year-old has been telling loudly for weeks “L’équipe“His colleague in the cabin at AS Monaco from his PSG request. In a remarkable statement, however, it was more than clear in the principality on Monday that great expectations of a sale are made. In the ideas, Paris and Monaco seem to be extremely far apart.
When Akliouche had quadrupled its market value from 10 million to 40 million euros by the end of 2024, the prospective interested parties were in line. Top clubs from England, FC Bayern and RB Leipzig as well as especially Paris Saint-Germain were also mentioned as possible buyers of the Monaco Cup, who not only had outgrown his training club after the assumption of ASM coach Adi Hütter. He was ready for the next step, said Hütter in April about Akliouche, who had 16 of his 19 scorer points in Ligue 1 and Champions League at the time. In the French Oberhaus he lacks only one assist for the top position in the league ranking.
The Youngster himself reacted to the PSG rumors in winter. He is flattered, but focuses on the season with Monaco. He no longer has to do that and should actually have a clear tendency towards the French capital. Just on Monday, however, it was made clear on the Côte d’Azur that Aklioouche will be expensive. ASM is reportedly based on a transfer request of 80 million euros. With an offer of over 50 million euros, PSG would report on the negotiations. The contract in Monaco is still valid in the long term until 2028.
Monaco boss: Akliouche “Must make clever decisions”
“Maghnes was one of the team’s best players this season and he is clearly the next candidate for a departure,” emphasized Monaco’s general director Thiago Scuro on Monday. “But Monaco is also a strong and renowned association. We put expectations in him. There are not many clubs that can commit him. An departure or a whereabouts for another season, both are possible. He has to make very smart decisions. He has to go somewhere where the playing style is and where he really trusts. To become a national player, he must enjoy the same respect as here in Monaco.”
