PSG close in on Monaco midfielder Maghnes Akliouche after agreeing €50m fee

Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Monaco over a €50m transfer for Maghnes Akliouche, paving the way for the highly rated attacking midfielder to move to the French champions.

The deal, reported by journalist Sacha Tavolieri, matches Monaco’s original valuation and comes after several weeks of negotiations between the two clubs. Monaco had held firm throughout the talks, refusing to lower their asking price.

PSG have now accepted those terms in order to secure one of Ligue 1’s most promising young players, with the 23-year-old seen as a significant addition to their squad.

Personal terms settled

On the player’s side, all key details are already in place. A full agreement has been reached between PSG and Akliouche’s representatives, removing any remaining personal hurdles to the move.

Akliouche must now complete the final administrative steps before the transfer can be made official. Barring an unexpected late twist, he is expected to sign for PSG in the coming days.

The move would see the France champions hand head coach Luis Enrique an extra creative option for the upcoming season, adding further depth to his attacking midfield resources.

Monaco stand firm on valuation

Throughout the talks, Monaco’s hierarchy had been clear they would not reduce their €50m demand, a stance they ultimately maintained until agreement was found. The settlement reflects the principality club’s belief in Akliouche’s value and potential.

For PSG, meeting that price underlines their determination to recruit emerging talent from within Ligue 1, as they continue to reshape the squad with an eye on both domestic dominance and European ambitions.

Should the transfer be finalised as expected, Akliouche will leave Monaco having established himself as one of the brightest prospects in the division, now set for the next step of his career in the capital.
