The future of Maghnes Akliouche is taking shape more clearly. Promised to leave Monaco last summer, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder ultimately stayed one more season with his training club. No moods, quite the contrary. Having become a French international in September, the Monegasque confirmed that he had the shoulders to go to the top floor this season.
Author of 43 matches in all competitions (7 goals, 11 assists), Akliouche particularly shone when he was expected, notably against PSG. There was this interlude between February and March, when he scored 2 goals and delivered 2 assists while being decisive and influential in each of the three matches against Paris (2 in the Champions League, 1 in Ligue 1). We won’t go so far as to say that it was these three matches that tipped the Parisian leaders off, but Akliouche’s performances those days certainly confirmed their impression of the player.
Paris wants to complete Lee’s departure to Atlético before concluding the Akliouche file
Already announced to PSG by us in recent months, Maghnes Akliouche is getting closer today than ever. According to our information, the Monegasque is still among the priorities of the capital club. Better, he has even spoken with Luis Enrique in recent weeks. A conversation which reassured him since the player agreed to the idea of joining the reigning double European champion.
Today, Paris wants to complete the transfer of Kang-in Lee as quickly as possible to Atlético de Madrid. From there, Ile-de-France leaders will be able to accelerate their maneuvers to finalize the arrival of Akliouche. Discussions continue constantly between the different parties. If he joined PSG, Akliouche would become the seventh French international in the Parisian squad alongside Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, Warren Zaire-Emery, Lucas Hernandez and Lucas Chevalier.
