Psg close in on maghnes akliouche as monaco lowers price

Paris Saint-Germain are making a strong push to secure the signature of Maghnes Akliouche, the young French midfielder, as they look to replace Lee Kang-In, who is set to join Atlético Madrid. The capital club’s interest in Akliouche has resurfaced in recent days, with internal sources confirming that negotiations are accelerating.

This summer, PSG is focusing on bringing in promising French talents to bolster its squad, and Akliouche fits perfectly into that strategy. Already on the club’s radar last year, the French international remains a priority for the Parisian side, especially as Lee Kang-In’s departure becomes increasingly likely. The timing appears ideal, with both clubs reportedly working toward a swift resolution.

Monaco adjusts stance on Akliouche’s transfer value

AS Monaco’s initial demand of €70 million for Akliouche last summer has reportedly been revised downward. According to insiders, the principality club is now under pressure to finalize a deal before the player’s contract expires in 2028. While the exact figure remains undisclosed, it is expected to be significantly lower than the previous asking price, reflecting Monaco’s urgency to conclude the transfer.

The improved relationship between PSG and Monaco’s leadership has further smoothed the path for discussions. With both parties motivated to reach an agreement, the likelihood of a successful deal before the transfer window closes is growing.

Akliouche stays focused on the World Cup

Despite the mounting speculation, Akliouche has made it clear that his current priority is the upcoming World Cup with the French national team. « I’m fully committed to this tournament. Everything can change during the competition, and it’s a huge opportunity to showcase my abilities. That said, I don’t want to distract from my club or discuss my future before the World Cup is over, » he explained in a recent interview.

The midfielder’s stance adds a layer of complexity to the negotiations, as PSG must balance their ambitions with Akliouche’s desire to remain fully present for his national team duties. Still, the club’s determination suggests they are willing to wait if it means securing a long-term asset.
