PSG Bids €35m for Maghnes Akliouche as Monaco Rejects

Monaco’s Stance on Akliouche

Monaco have dismissed a PSG offer of €35 million for Maghnes Akliouche, according to L’Équipe. The club previously set a €70 million price tag last summer, a figure that proved too high for interested parties. The 24‑year‑old academy graduate is now ready to move this window, with Monaco indicating they will not stand in the way of his departure. Akliouche’s potential exit marks the end of a formative period at the club.

PSG Leads the Transfer Race

Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, PSG are at the forefront of the pursuit for the France international. RMC Sport reported on Monday that Akliouche has already agreed personal terms with the reigning European champions. Club talks are ongoing, but an official agreement has yet to be reached. The French capital side remains confident they can secure his signature before the window closes.

World Cup Boosts Akliouche’s Profile

Akliouche’s participation in the FIFA World Cup in North America adds extra visibility to his situation. The tournament has highlighted his abilities on the international stage, potentially influencing future valuations. His debut as a France senior player gives him a platform that could attract even higher bids. The exposure may also make PSG more eager to wrap up the deal quickly.

What’s Next for All Parties?

Monaco will likely use the €35 million rejection as a floor for any future offers, aiming to recoup a portion of the €70 million valuation from last summer. PSG must balance their midfield needs with the financial commitment, possibly adding a loan clause to ease the burden. Akliouche, for his part, will watch the market closely and could leverage interest from multiple clubs. Observers predict the transfer saga will conclude within the next two weeks as the window narrows.
