PSG must sell before moving for Maghnes Akliouche

Maghnes Akliouche is very keen on the idea of joining Paris Saint-Germain. The young attacking midfielder from Monaco, who shone last season, would welcome a move to the capital. The link between the player and Paris is not new: the club's interest has never disappeared, and Akliouche, for his part, has never hidden his interest in PSG.

Initial discussions with his representatives already took place in the summer of 2024, but the Parisian club was not in a position to move concretely. At this stage, Paris would only make a move in the event of a departure of Marco Asensio or Lee Kang-In, in particular.

Asensio is no longer in Luis Enrique's plans, while Lee is seeing his playing time reduced and even seems to be overtaken in the pecking order by Senny Mayulu. Al-Nassr have contacted his representatives, but the player has not indicated any intention to leave the capital for the moment.

If one of these two options were to materialize, Akliouche would then become a clear priority for the Rouge & Bleu, reveals the media outlet 'Sportzone'. At 23 years old, he represents everything that Paris is looking to promote in its new sporting policy: a young French player, trained in Ligue 1, with technical qualities, a good work rate and good footballing intelligence.

Last season, the France U21 international particularly distinguished himself in the Champions League against Barcelona. Capable of playing on the right wing of the attack, as a false number 9, or even in midfield, Akliouche is attractive because of his all-round profile. All arguments that could ultimately convince them to launch an assault... obviously provided there is space.

According to several sources, negotiations with Monaco would begin on the basis of 70 million euros, a sum demanded by the Principality club to release its player.
