French football club Paris Saint-Germain has acquired attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco. The Champions League winners paid an estimated 58.5 million euros for his services.

PSG had been monitoring Akliouche's situation, with Liverpool also keen on signing him, but AS Monaco rejected multiple offers. The 24-year-old had previously only played for the "Princes." In the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he featured in 31 matches, scoring 6 goals and providing six assists.

According to French media, Akliouche's arrival at PSG could trigger a domino effect, potentially paving the way for Bradley Barcola's transfer from PSG to Liverpool.
