PSG and Premier League target Maghnes Akliouche addresses Monaco future

PSG and Premier League target Maghnes Akliouche addresses Monaco future AS Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche (24), currently competing at the FIFA World Cup with France, has addressed his future.  Akliouche has come through the ranks at Monaco. His formative club have not shied away from stating that the playmaker will be available this summer at the right price. There is no shortage of interest. The likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and more recently, Liverpool, have all been linked with a move for the Frenchman.  A departure is expected and Akliouche has not shied away from that fact. Speaking ahead of  Les Bleus’  second World Cup game, against Iraq, Akliouche had to field a question about PSG’s reported interest. He responded,  “I understand why this question is being asked but for now, I am focused on the World Cup,”  he said.  The France international, who could also have declared for Algeria, did not come off the bench during  Les Bleus’  3-1 win over Senegal. He will look to play a larger role going forward before then turning his attention to his club future. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
