Paris Saint-Germain have been handed a clear run at Maghnes Akliouche after the Monaco playmaker reportedly gave approval to the move.
Get French Football News, relaying Fabrizio Romano and Foot Mercato, reports that PSG are leading the race for the 24-year-old, with Monaco expecting bids soon and talks now intensifying. The same report claims Akliouche has spoken with Luis Enrique and agreed to join the French champions.
Luis Enrique Route Gives PSG Transfer Control
The timing matters. PSG have been working through the consequences of a possible Kang-in Lee exit, and Akliouche offers the kind of flexible right-sided profile that fits Enrique’s rotation-heavy attack.
He is not a pure touchline winger. Akliouche can receive between the lines, carry through pressure and drift inside, making him a natural fit for a PSG side built around interchangeable forwards rather than fixed wide roles.
PSG Talk also notes that Monaco expect bids soon, with Premier League interest still in the background. That makes acceleration essential for Paris.
For PSG, the appeal is also strategic. Signing a France international from Monaco would keep a high-ceiling Ligue 1 creator away from England while strengthening a direct domestic advantage.
If Lee’s departure unlocks the financial and squad space, Akliouche now looks less like a speculative Ligue 1 target and more like PSG’s next serious domestic power play.
