Maghnes Akliouche confirms he wants summer transfer

Monaco's rising star Maghnes Akliouche has officially opened the door to a high-profile move this summer, acknowledging that his time at the Stade Louis II is likely coming to an end after a breakout campaign. The 24-year-old playmaker enjoyed a stellar 2025-26 season with 31 appearances and six goals in Ligue 1.

Speaking to Nice-Matin before travelling to the United States with the French national team for the 2026 World Cup, Akliouche was candid about his situation. When asked if the next step would be a transfer this summer, he responded: "Will the next step be a transfer this summer?

Yes, but frankly, I'm really focused on this World Cup." He added: "I know anything can happen, even during the competition. It's a great opportunity for exposure, but I'm staying focused on the national team's objectives. I don't want to disrespect my club by talking about the transfer window now either.
