Maghnes Akliouche’s potential move to PSG: a transfer in the making?

Maghnes Akliouche, current star at AS Monaco, could soon find himself in the colors of Paris Saint-Germain. The French international is expected to finalize his transfer after the World Cup, with both clubs reportedly close to an agreement.

With Luis Enrique looking to strengthen his squad for the upcoming season, the PSG management is eyeing several reinforcements—including Akliouche. The 22-year-old midfielder, who has been a standout performer for Monaco, could soon make the switch to the capital. However, the deal hinges on negotiations between the two clubs, particularly regarding the transfer fee.

Could a swap deal involving Kang-in Lee seal the transfer?

One intriguing aspect of this potential transfer is the possibility of a swap deal. According to insiders, Kang-in Lee, a South Korean midfielder currently at PSG, could be included in the transaction to lower the price of Akliouche. This strategy might appeal to AS Monaco, which has shown no intention of letting their star player go for a bargain.

An analyst recently commented: « PSG is reportedly interested in Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco. Including Kang-in Lee in the deal could help reduce the transfer fee—it would be a smart move. If I were AS Monaco, I’d definitely consider it.»

Kang-in Lee’s uncertain future at PSG

The inclusion of Kang-in Lee in the transfer talks raises questions about his own future at the club. Some reports suggest that the South Korean player could be on his way out this summer, as he looks to secure more playing time in a top European competition.

A close observer of the club noted: «Kang-in Lee is one of those players whose future will be scrutinized over the summer. He, along with Ramos, belongs to a group of talents who could easily start in any Champions League-contending team. It’s not about wasting talent—it’s about giving players like him the opportunity to grow further. This season, Lee has taken a significant step forward, contributing consistently to the team’s success. His performances have often turned games in PSG’s favor, making him a key asset with a bright future ahead.»

With the transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on whether Maghnes Akliouche will indeed join PSG—and if Kang-in Lee’s potential departure plays a role in sealing the deal.
