Transfer news – Akliouche edges closer to PSG | OneFootball

Maghnes Akliouche, the 24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger for AS Monaco (under contract until 2028) and the French national team, has been reported as close to joining Paris Saint-Germain during this 2026 summer transfer window. But an agreement with ASM has seemed difficult to reach. However, journalist Fabrizio Romano reported this Thursday that the two clubs have made progress and are now close to finalizing a deal.

Romano: “Details to sort out and then we’re good to go”

This journalist is generally reliable, so seeing him be this assertive is a good sign that the transfer could indeed be finalized soon. It also matches recent rumors of a new offer worth around €50 million, the fee mentioned in this case in recent weeks.

PSG have already made strong progress when it comes to departures, and new signings are now expected. Even if there is no panic or rush with the transfer window still lasting another month (closing on September 1). It is still preferable to have the new players arrive as early as possible. That still leaves a little time, given the delayed holidays caused by the World Cup, but the return to training is starting to take shape for everyone.

With a transfer set to be finalized soon, Akliouche could be a Paris player by the time he begins his preseason preparations, normally around August 10. So we are hoping for confirmation soon. Things could move quickly if the media are right about an agreement already being in place between the player and PSG. It makes sense, because it is a great opportunity for the French international, and he fits well with Paris’ style of play. His technical finesse and versatility would be very useful for coach Luis Enrique, who will look to help him become more consistent.
