Maghnes Akliouche has quickly become one of the hottest prospects as the summer transfer window nears its close, drawing strong interest from PSG and Manchester City after a breakout season with AS Monaco. The 23-year-old has established himself as one of Ligue 1’s brightest talents, but there’s conflicting information over a potential move.
In May, 90min France reported that both City and PSG had stepped up their pursuit, with Monaco reportedly valuing the midfielder around €70 million. Pep Guardiola is said to admire Akliouche’s left-footed creativity and versatility, seeing him as a potential long-term successor to Bernardo Silva.
Meanwhile, Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg noted that Bayer Leverkusen still regard Akliouche as a dream signing, though their chances appear slim given the high price and stiff competition. With Manchester City firmly in the mix, Plettenberg added that the Frenchman is one of the key players to watch as Deadline Day approaches.
Will Tottenham land PSG transfer target?
The Telegraph reports that Tottenham are interested in French attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche after missing out on Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White. Monaco would be willing to sell him if it received an attractive bid.
