Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche looks set for a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to Sky Sports, after previously being linked with a switch to Liverpool in the Premier League.
Sky Sports' Adam Bate spoke to one of Akliouche's former coaches to explain why the 23-year-old is attracting such interest. Beyond his obvious flair and creativity, the report highlights his defensive work rate as a key asset — described as a "pressing monster" who combines relentless off-the-ball intensity with the technical quality to unlock defences.
That blend of graft and craft has reportedly made him one of the most sought-after attacking talents in France, with PSG now understood to be leading the race for his signature ahead of any Premier League suitors.
While full financial details of a prospective deal are not yet confirmed, the shift in momentum towards Paris suggests Akliouche's next step could come domestically rather than abroad — a move that would keep one of Ligue 1's most complete young forwards within the French top flight, this time at the champions' training ground.
