PSG transfer market stalls as offers rebuffed and loans continue
Paris Saint‑Germain has made little progress in this summer's transfer window. The club's €45 million bid for AS Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche was rejected, with Monaco reportedly demanding at least €60 million for the 24‑year‑old. A second attempt to sign the player remains pending.
The only inbound movement has been the loan of 19‑year‑old defender Naoufel El Hannach to Montpellier for a second spell, while forward Randal Kolo Muani's possible €50 million move to Juventus is awaiting a medical examination. Meanwhile, French striker Eli Junior Kroupi suffered a fifth‑metatarsal fracture, requiring surgery and sidelining him for three to four months, curtailing PSG's interest in him.
Other transfer rumors persist, including Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola with PSG asking €170 million, and ongoing speculation about Ferran Torres and other targets, but no new player has been officially signed as the window draws to a close.
