Overview
- Multiple outlets report Monaco would accept an offer a little over £40m for Maghnes Akliouche, with Manchester United informed of the asking price and no formal bid disclosed.
- United are assessing right-sided attacking options and have tracked the 24-year-old after a strong season for Monaco, where he can play on the right, left, or as a central creator.
- Akliouche is under contract at Monaco until 2029, a long deal that gives the Ligue 1 club leverage to hold firm on a significant fee.
- Liverpool and Tottenham have also been linked, which could create Premier League competition and influence the final price in the summer window.
- Coverage notes United’s recruitment will be shaped by a likely return to Europe and a reshaped forward line, with reports saying the club is open to offers for striker Joshua Zirkzee.
