Maghnes Akliouche could be on the move this summer, with PSG, Manchester City, and Liverpool all showing strong interest in the AS Monaco midfielder. The 23-year-old has emerged as one of Ligue 1’s standout performers, and a new challenge could be on the horizon.
Last month,L’Équipe reported that Manchester United had also entered the race, setting up a potential battle with their Premier League rivals for his signature.
Monaco are reportedly seeking a fee in the €70 million to €80 million range, but that hasn’t deterred any of the interested clubs, making a summer exit increasingly likely.

CaughtOffside reports that Maghnes Aklioucheis valued between £50.2 million and £58.6 million, and Monacoare open to letting him leave if an offer in that range comes in.
The report also says Liverpool have a strong interest in the 22-year-old, and a move to Anfield could tempt Akliouche as he looks to take the next step in his career.
Monacoare said to prefer a move to the Premier League over the risk of losing him to PSG, who have been monitoring him closely. The reigning Ligue 1 champions’ interest has raised concerns within the club about a potential switch to the capital.
Akliouche, who hasbeen involved in 15 goals this season, has spent his Monaco career playing primarily on the right wing, adding to speculation he could eventually be a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah.
This month,90min France reported that Manchester City and PSG have intensified their pursuit, making a summer move seem more probable.
