PSG went on the offensive to recruit Maghnes Akliouche, the right winger from AS Monaco. If the person concerned has already found common ground with the capital club, the two clubs concerned are certainly not on the same wavelength. The first Parisian approach was poorly received by the Monegasque institution.
Via QSI, Paris would have submitted a proposal of 35 million euros to buy out the last two years of the 24-year-old French international’s contract. An offer that “saccording to various sources close to the matter, did not please the Principality », reports Le Parisien, specifying that in “
internal to the club, there is talk of an excessively significant gap of 15 to 20 million euros with the true value » from the player.
“Folarin or Maghnes do not have only one option”
“ Monaco ready to keep Akliouche if there is no good deal », Confirms Thiago Scuro, the general director of the club, on the sidelines of the presentation of the new ASM coach Filipe Luis. “ Profiles like Balogun, Akliouche, Camara are of interesthe explained. If we find an agreement that suits Monaco, it can be done very quickly. Otherwise, there will be nothing. (…) Each club has a strategy. But Folarin or Maghnes don’t have just one option. The conversation with them is always open. My job is to respect the players. But also to protect AS Monaco. I may get into conflict over this. »
Summoned by the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) to reduce the size in terms of payroll, the Principality club knows it is constrained, but not at any price. “
Monaco must reduce its overall payroll while finding solutions to have a positive balance on transfersagrees Thiago Scuro. Which player will leave? It depends on what he’s going to do during the summer, like last summer… There was a lot of information about Maghnes leaving last year. He stayed. It was positive for him. He is now playing in the World Cup. »
