Paris-based Saint-Germain close on Monaco Akliouche with €50m bid

Paris Saint-Germain have secured AS Monaco’s acceptance of a €50 million bid for 24‑year‑old attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche, the Paris‑based club announced, moving the transfer a step closer after earlier offers were rejected. The deal, reported by L’Équipe, signals PSG’s determination to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.

AS Monaco confirmed the acceptance of the €50 million offer from Paris Saint‑Germain for Maghnes Akliouche, according to L’Équipe. The 24‑year‑old attacking midfielder, who joined Monaco in 2017 from US Torcy, is under contract until 2028.

Paris Saint‑Germain had seen several of its proposals turned down in recent days, but the €50 million figure finally persuaded Monaco. The Paris‑based club’s willingness to meet Monaco’s valuation marks a decisive step in its aggressive transfer strategy.

Akliouche’s contract with ASM runs to 2028, meaning his departure would end a decade‑long association with the club. His tenure began when he arrived from US Torcy in 2017, after progressing through Monaco’s youth ranks.

During his Monaco career he has amassed 139 appearances, scoring 23 goals and providing 28 assists. In the 2025‑26 campaign he featured in 43 matches across all competitions, netting seven times and delivering eleven assists.

His performances earned him a call‑up to Les Bleus for the World Cup, confirming his status among France’s elite players. The midfielder’s versatility and creative output have made him a key figure in Monaco’s attacking play.

Monaco’s acceptance of the bid provides a substantial financial injection, though the exact terms remain to be finalised. Losing Akliouche will leave a void in the squad after ten years of service.

For Paris Saint‑Germain, the acquisition underscores a willingness to invest heavily in the market after earlier offers were rebuffed. Adding a player of Akliouche’s calibre strengthens their midfield options ahead of upcoming competitions.
