PSG Reach Breakthrough in Talks for Maghnes Akliouche but Fee Gap Persists

Reported progress advances PSG's effort to replace Kang‑in Lee by pushing Monaco to agree a higher transfer fee.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets led by transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano reported a breakthrough in talks on Thursday with clubs saying discussions are now at an advanced stage.
  • Monaco rejected PSG's recent €45 million offer and continues to demand roughly €60 million, leaving a clear valuation gap that still must be closed.
  • Maghnes Akliouche is a 24‑year‑old France international who scored seven goals and provided about 10 assists last season and is under contract with Monaco until 2028.
  • Sources say Akliouche wants the move and personal terms are expected to be straightforward, while PSG view him as a direct replacement for Kang‑in Lee after Lee's sale to Atlético Madrid.
  • Negotiations are ongoing with talks over final fee, payment structure and timing as the transfer window approaches closure and the next move will likely decide whether the deal completes or stalls.
