Maghnes Akliouche has been late in recent months. Sensation of the French team of Thierry Henry at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, in the wake of Michael Olise – and in front of Désiré Doué and Rayan Cherki -, the left -hander of AS Monaco has just seen the attacking midfielder formed at the Rennes stadium exploding at PSG and the Jewel of OL becomes the leader of the Gones.
Akliouche, 23 years since last February, has not made a bad season, quite the contrary. Sparkling ball at the foot, he had excellent periods -and his statistics demonstrate it (5 goals and 10 assists in Ligue 1, two goals and two assists in the Champions League) -, but he also disappointed in certain important moments in the Monegasque season. He did not cross the landing allowing him to be invited by Didier Deschamps to the Blues, like Olise, gifted and then Cherki.
The prodigy from 93 (born in Tremblay-en-France, he grew up in Villemomble) has an exit voucher for this summer but his training club would have set his starting price at 70 million euros. At this price, few major European clubs have token at the ASM door, even if it seems to move around its case.
Akliouche and Gyökeres, the two Arsenal targets
As indicated The team On Tuesday, Arsenal would have targeted Maghnes Akliouche to make it a new offensive option alongside the Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard or Martin Odegaard. Akliouche can be struck as well from a wing what to make the difference full axis, since he has the ability to stand out in the contact (which Odegaard seeks to do on the ground). The Gunners are still working on the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres to occupy the tip of the Mikel Arteta training attack.
At 70 million euros, Akliouche would thus enter the top 5 of the largest sales of the Principality club ahead of Anthony Martial, which finally cost 60 million euros (50 plus a bonus of 10 million). Aurélien Tchouameni, James Rodriguez and Thomas Lemar were transferred for 80, 75 and 72 million euros respectively, while Kylian Mbappé reported the 180 million sum of 180 million in his departure at PSG.
