Maghnes Akliouche (24) had been expected to leave AS Monaco in the summer of 2025, only for the Principality club’s €70m valuation to put off prospective suitors. The likes of Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Paris Saint-Germain were all interested in the Frenchman, but none made a concrete move to acquire his services.

That could change at the end of the season, as per a report from Fabrizio Romano. With the season yet to conclude and with Monaco mired in a battle to secure UEFA Champions League qualification once again, Premier League clubs are already making advances. The journalist understands that several calls have already taken place.

As was the case last summer, Monaco will not stand in the way of a departure for Akliouche, although their valuation must be met. The academy prospect has returned to form in recent weeks and has become a growing presence in the France national team, having made his debut for Les Bleus back in September.
