PSG close in on Akliouche signing after Monaco accept €50m bid

Paris Saint-Germain are on the verge of signing France youngster of Algerian descent, Maghnes Akliouche, after Monaco reportedly accepted a €50 million offer for the player.

According to L’Équipe, the Ligue 1 champions have finally made a breakthrough in negotiations after several previous bids were rejected by Monaco.

Although the two clubs are still working to finalise the financial and contractual details of the transfer, PSG now appear to be in pole position to secure one of French football’s brightest talents.

End of an era at Monaco

Akliouche is expected to leave Monaco after spending almost a decade at the club, having joined the principality side from US Torcy in 2017.

The 24-year-old developed through Monaco’s academy before establishing himself as one of the team’s most influential players in recent seasons.

During his time at the club, Akliouche made 139 appearances in all competitions, scoring 23 goals and providing 28 assists.

His performances have made him one of the most sought-after attacking players in French football.

Impressive campaign attracts PSG interest

Akliouche enjoyed another productive season in 2025-26, playing 43 matches across all competitions.

The midfielder scored seven goals and registered 11 assists as Monaco secured another strong finish in Ligue 1.

His consistency at club level was rewarded with a call-up to the France squad for the World Cup, further enhancing his reputation on the international stage.

PSG continue squad rebuild

PSG’s pursuit of Akliouche underlines the club’s determination to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the new season.

The Parisian giants had seen several offers rejected in recent weeks but have now moved closer to completing a deal that would represent one of the biggest transfers of the French summer window.

With negotiations entering their final stages, Akliouche could soon be preparing for a new chapter in his career at the reigning French champions.
