Maghnes Akliouche has made a definitive decision regarding his immediate future. Speaking to Ligue 1+ this Saturday, August 16, 2025, the Franco-Algerian midfielder confirmed his commitment to AS Monaco and closed the door on a transfer during this window.

The 23-year-old has been at the center of transfer rumors since the start of the summer, attracting interest from some of Europe’s elite. His name has been linked with top clubs, notably Manchester City and FC Barcelona, both impressed by his Champions League performances. Despite this attention, Akliouche has chosen to focus on the ambitions of the Principality club, who are competing in Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season.

The creative Monegasque midfielder took advantage of AS Monaco’s opening win over Le Havre (3-1) to clear up his situation.

His simple yet resolute statement put an end to weeks of speculation swirling around the Principality. This stance reassures Adi Hütter’s coaching staff and the fans at the Stade Louis-II.
