Monaco Coach Suggests Rising Star Akliouche May Be Ready for Big Move

Monaco manager Adi Hütter has indicated that young forward Maghnes Akliouche could be prepared for a transfer to a larger club. The 23-year-old French player has attracted interest from top teams like Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite extending his contract with Monaco until 2028 last summer, Akliouche’s consistent performances this season have put him in contention for a national team call-up. This has reignited interest from major clubs.

Hütter praised Akliouche’s development, stating, “He’s made significant progress over the past two years. At 23, he possesses unique skills that few others have. In my opinion, he’s ready for the next challenge in his career.”

The coach also acknowledged the club’s history of nurturing and selling talented young players, suggesting that Akliouche could follow this path. “We’re proud to have developed a young academy player into a high-performing first-team member, who may go on to excel at a top club,” Hütter added.

When asked about his future, Akliouche remained focused on the present, saying, “I’m concentrating on the upcoming matches. Questions about my future may be addressed at the end of the season.”

As Akliouche continues to impress, it seems increasingly likely that he may make a high-profile move in the near future, potentially following in the footsteps of other Monaco academy graduates who have gone on to achieve success at major European clubs.
