Manchester United and Manchester City are in a competitive race to sign 23-year-old Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche, who has significantly contributed to his team's attacking efforts with six goals and ten assists. Monaco is willing to sell him for approximately €80 million this summer, especially as he expresses a desire to join a Champions League club. Akliouche's performances have caught attention from top clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain. Monaco manager Adi Hutter praised Akliouche's development and readiness for a big club, hinting at potential offers coming his way.
L'Equipe claim Monaco made it clear to Akliouche early this season that he will be allowed to leave the club this summer for the right price, with the France Under-21 international keen to join a Champions League side who can help him grow in the competition for the next decade.
Monaco are prepared to demand as much as 80m (68.6m) to sell Akliouche, who is tied to the club until 2028 and is known to be on Paris Saint-Germain's radar as the Champions League semi-finalists look to continue adding to their young, homegrown core.
'We are delighted with what he has achieved over the past two seasons,' Monaco manager Adi Hutter reflected. 'He has taken a big step in the right direction. He has become a talented, successful player.'
It is City who are showing the strongest interest in the right-sided forward as they look to replace the creativity which will follow Kevin De Bruyne out the exit door this summer.
