Maghnes Akliouche could be on the move this summer, with PSG and Manchester City showing serious interest in the AS Monaco midfielder. The 23-year-old has been one of Ligue 1’s standout players this season and may be eyeing a new challenge.
This month, 90min France reported that both Manchester City and PSG have intensified their pursuit of the Frenchman, making a summer transfer increasingly likely.
Monaco appear ready to cash in at their asking price. City manager Pep Guardiola is said to be a big admirer of Akliouche, whose dribbling, left-footed creativity, and versatility make him a natural candidate to potentially replace Bernardo Silva.
