Manchester United Enters Fierce Competition for Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche
AS Monaco’s promising forward Maghnes Akliouche has caught the attention of Manchester United, who have now joined the pursuit alongside Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. The 23-year-old French talent is expected to depart from his childhood club this summer, with Monaco setting a hefty price tag of €70-80 million.
Despite extending his contract with Monaco until 2028 last year, Akliouche’s consistent performance this season has put him on the radar of top European clubs. His impressive form has even sparked discussions about a potential call-up to the French national team.
Monaco’s manager, Adi Hütter, hinted at Akliouche’s readiness for a new challenge, stating, “He appears prepared to take the next step in his career. We’ll see what unfolds with Maghnes.”
The high valuation hasn’t deterred interested parties. Manchester City and PSG maintain their interest from last summer, while Manchester United has now entered the fray. Real Madrid could also join the race, especially if Xabi Alonso, an admirer of the young Frenchman, takes the helm as manager.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Akliouche’s next move, with several top clubs vying for his signature in what promises to be one of the most intriguing transfer sagas of the season.
