Five-year PSG pact agreed but Akliouche fee still to be settled

Paris Saint-Germain have agreed personal terms with Monaco midfielder Maghnes Akliouche on a five-year contract, but transfer fee negotiations with the Ligue 1 club are now the priority.

The Parisians’ summer transfer strategy is shifting from selling to buying, with Akliouche emerging as their first major target. Insider Fabrice Hawkins reports the five-year deal has been finalised, though the financial details remain outstanding.

Club-to-club discussions between PSG and Monaco have advanced following the personal terms agreement. Hawkins notes such contract talks rarely occur without the buying club having a clear view of the seller’s valuation.

The Monaco attacker’s preference for a move to the capital appears strong, and PSG are confident the transfer fee will remain within acceptable limits. With Kang-in Lee’s €40 million exit to Atletico Madrid now imminent, PSG can focus resources on completing the Akliouche deal.

Kang-in Lee’s transfer to Atletico Madrid is effectively confirmed, with insider Fabrizio Romano signalling the move is imminent and valued at around €40 million. PSG have also completed the sale of Goncalo Ramos to AC Milan, where he will link up with manager Ruben Amorim.

PSG’s summer activity contrasts with their earlier focus on selling players. The club’s willingness to enter fee negotiations suggests Akliouche’s price is not expected to derail the deal.

Monaco’s attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche remains the subject of PSG’s primary recruitment push this window. The five-year contract length indicates the Parisians’ long-term commitment to the player.

The transfer market’s fluidity is underscored by PSG’s dual activity: offloading Lee and Ramos while pursuing Akliouche. The club’s financial flexibility may hinge on the completion of these deals.

For PSG supporters, the Akliouche agreement represents progress after a quiet start to the summer transfer window.
