Psg transfer target Maghnes Akliouche makes his decision during 2026 world cup

With the 2026 World Cup in full swing, Paris Saint-Germain is already laying the groundwork for its summer transfer window. The capital club has shifted into high gear, particularly regarding the potential signing of Maghnes Akliouche. The French international has reportedly made up his mind about his future should he leave AS Monaco at the end of the season.

After clinching a second consecutive Champions League title, PSG is gearing up for a busy summer. The Parisian side aims to provide Luis Enrique with fresh options for the upcoming campaign and has accelerated its recruitment drive. Club officials are actively working to secure Maghnes Akliouche, and the 24-year-old, currently representing France at the 2026 World Cup, appears to have already settled on his next move.

Maghnes Akliouche has chosen his next destination

Maghnes Akliouche has been unambiguous about what lies ahead. If he departs from AS Monaco, the French international wants only one club: Paris Saint-Germain. Although top Premier League sides like Liverpool and Manchester United have shown interest, the Monaco attacking midfielder has made his preference for the Red and Blues crystal clear. Akliouche has given his first answer while competing at the 2026 World Cup.

PSG accelerates for its mercato

The question now is whether PSG can reach an agreement with AS Monaco to land Maghnes Akliouche. The back-to-back European champions are expected to fund this transfer through the departures of Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan and Kang-In Lee to Atlético Madrid. The French international may not be the only arrival in the capital, as PSG is also pushing forward on moves for Yan Diomandé and Alessandro Longoni. More to follow…
