PSG's bid for Monaco midfielder Maghnes Akliouche stalls over price

Paris Saint‑Germain have made clear their interest in signing AS Monaco's 24‑year‑old midfielder Maghnes Akliouche. Monaco's director general Thiago Scuro said the club will keep the player unless a satisfactory offer is received, rejecting an initial €35 million proposal and indicating a target price of around €50 million.

Negotiations continue as PSG also eyes other offensive targets, notably Leipzig's Yan Diomandé, with the combined cost of both players potentially exceeding €150 million. Monaco is preparing a replacement by pursuing Nice's Mohamed‑Ali Cho, reportedly for a fee above €10 million, to cover a possible departure.

The transfer saga highlights PSG's need to reinforce its attack after recent departures and the financial stakes involved for both French clubs.
