Paris Saint-Germain officially announced the signing of 24-year-old French attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche from Ligue 1 club Monaco on August 6, 2026 [1, 2, 3]. Akliouche, a France international with 10 caps, joined PSG on a contract running until 2031 [3].
Akliouche grew up in the Paris region and called the move to PSG "so meaningful" for him and his family. "Having grown up in the Paris region, joining such a prestigious club means so much to me and my family," he said [1, 3].
Akliouche began his career at Monaco’s youth academy in 2017 at age 15 before making his senior debut in 2021 [3]. He made 139 senior appearances for Monaco, scoring 23 goals and providing 28 assists in all competitions [1, 2, 3].
He was part of France’s squad that won the silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics and was included in France’s 2026 World Cup team [1, 2, 3].
Financial terms were not officially disclosed, but French media reported the transfer fee was around €50 million [1, 2, 3]. Akliouche’s arrival adds depth to PSG’s attack amid recent departures of Gonzalo Ramos and Lee Kang-in [3]. He will join forwards including 2025 Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue at PSG [1, 2].
The club’s future plans are unsettled as winger Bradley Barcola faces interest from Liverpool [3].
Akliouche is set to feature for PSG in the upcoming Ligue 1 season as the club integrates him into their squad for 2026-27 [1, 3].
