According to L'Équipe's Loïc Tanzi, Akliouche is very keen on joining PSG this summer, but a deal is still a long way off, even though Luís Campos has already spoken with him. PSG see Monaco's asking price as too steep and, for now, isn't prepared to go above €50 million.
Meanwhile, RMC Sport reported that Akliouche, who has tallied seven goals and 12 assists, is expected to leave Monaco. The club is reportedly open to selling him if an offer of around €70 million comes in, and PSG are among the teams closely monitoring the situation.

Inter Milan Will Only Move For PSG Star If He's Available On Free Transfer Next Summer
Inter Milan Will Only Move For PSG Star If He's Available On Free Transfer Next Summer Inter Milan will only make a move for PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma if it is on a free transfer next summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement The future of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is still uncertain. The 26-year-old's contract with PSG runs out at the end of next June. He is still on the same five-year deal that he signed when he joined the club on a free transfer from AC Milan in the summer of 2021. As of yet, it is far from clear whether Donnarumma and PSG will agree a new deal. Inter Milan Will Only Move For Gianluigi Donnarumma On A Free Transfer BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – SEPTEMBER 09: Gianlugi Donnarumma of Italy celebrates the win at the end of the UEFA Nations League 2024/25 League A Group A2 match between Israel and Italy at Bozsik Stadion on September 09, 2024 in Budapest, Hungary. (Photo by) Should Donnarumma not extend his contract, then he could be available on a free transfer next summer. He could leave his club at the end of his contract for the second time in his career. Advertisement And in that case, Inter Milan would certainly be interested. The Nerazzurri's penchant for big free transfer signings is no secret. And such deals don't come much bigger than Gianluigi Donnarumma. Therefore, Inter are paying close attention to the Italy captain's situation in the French capital. However, on the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain could even look to sell Donnarumma this summer. If the 26-year-old doesn't sign a new deal, then this would be their last big chance to cash in. According to the Gazzetta, however, Inter would not move for Donnarumma in that case. They would only be interested in signing the former Milan keeper on a free transfer in twelve months' time.
