Paris Saint-Germain will continue implementing one of its new transfer policies: securing young French talent. Last summer, they did so by landing Bradley Barcola, and now they have their eyes on another promising player.
The Parisians are eyeing AS Monaco standout Maghnes Akliouche as the summer transfer window approaches. Akliouche made 31 appearances for the Ligue 1 side this 2023-24 season across all competitions, scoring eight goals and registering four assists.
Nonetheless, PSG face competition for the 22-year-old, with top European clubs vying for the Frenchman. According to Nice Matin, Manchester City, Juventus, and Atletico de Madrid have joined PSG in the race for Akliouche.
Despite being under contract until 2026, the outlet’s information suggests that Monaco should have difficulty retaining their player this summer.

How much could Akliouche cost? Transfermarkt puts the player’s value at €15 million, but with all these clubs vying for the player, expect that transfer price to go way up.
