Monaco are preparing for a significant squad overhaul following their failure to qualify for European competition, and are anticipating departures including that of Maghnes Akliouche, according to TEAMtalk. The 24-year-old winger has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, notably Liverpool and Manchester United.
Monaco’s disappointing season has created uncertainty around key players, and the club now acknowledge they may need to sell valuable assets during the upcoming transfer window. Akliouche has emerged as the player most likely to generate significant Premier League interest.
Akliouche enjoyed a productive campaign for Monaco, registering seven goals and 11 assists across all competitions. His performances have established him as an exciting attacking talent in European football, drawing attention from Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United, in addition to Manchester United. Clubs are drawn to his technical ability, creativity, and versatility across the attacking line.
The France international primarily operates on the right wing but is capable of playing centrally or in wider positions. Scouts have been impressed by his consistent impact on games. Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring Akliouche, viewing him as a potential long-term replacement for Bradley Barcola, should the latter leave the Parc des Princes.
Akliouche’s recent form has led to international recognition, earning him a place in Didier Deschamps’ France squad for the upcoming international tournament. TEAMtalk reports that Monaco believe this call-up has increased both his market value and the level of interest he will attract. The club are aware that securing Champions League football was vital to retaining him.
Monaco are determined to maximise any potential sale and believe Akliouche’s international status will strengthen their negotiating position. Premier League clubs are expected to intensify their pursuit after the tournament concludes. Liverpool are assessing long-term attacking options, while Manchester United are also looking to strengthen their creative options this summer. Tottenham and Newcastle are also reportedly interested in adding quality to their attacking lineups.
While Monaco are resigned to the possibility of losing Akliouche, they will only consider offers that meet their valuation of the player.
