Paris Saint-Germain is accelerating its summer transfer plans, with Maghnes Akliouche emerging as a top priority. The club is in advanced talks with the 24-year-old French midfielder, who is currently competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the French national team. However, a successful deal hinges on reaching an agreement with AS Monaco, the player’s current club, which has already set a firm valuation.
AS Monaco demands €70 million for Akliouche
AS Monaco has reportedly set a €70 million price tag for Maghnes Akliouche, a figure that reflects both the player’s rising value and Monaco’s reluctance to part with him cheaply. PSG, fresh off back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles, appears poised to meet the asking price, leveraging financial flexibility gained from the impending departures of Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan and Kang-In Lee to Atlético Madrid. These moves could free up substantial funds to secure Akliouche’s signature.
PSG’s summer recruitment strategy takes shape
While Akliouche remains the marquee target, PSG is also pursuing other reinforcements ahead of the new season. The club has shown strong interest in Yan Diomandé and Alessandro Longoni, both of whom could bolster the squad. However, defensive reinforcements remain a priority, as Luis Enrique’s side looks to build on its recent European dominance. Transfer chief Luis Campos faces the challenge of finalizing these deals to deliver a squad capable of sustaining success in both domestic and continental competitions.
