European champions Paris Saint-Germain are close to signing Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano,
The clubs have been in talks for several weeks, with PSG identifying Akliouche as a target early in the summer transfer window.
The France international will have no problems with personal terms, as he wants the move to the Parc des Princes.
PSG keen to improve their squad
Back-to-back Champions League winners PSG are set to reshuffle their squad after two hugely successful campaigns.
The French giants have made it a point in recent years to target the best talents in France, and Akliouche fits the bill.
The 24-year-old has played his entire career for AS Monaco, having come through their academy ranks.
He bagged seven goals and 10 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions last season, proving his ability to contribute decisively in attack.
Akliouche earned a place in France’s FIFA World Cup squad with his performances at club level.
PSG have concluded the sale of South Korea international Kang-in Lee to Atletico Madrid this summer, leaving them without a player of the same profile.
Akliouche will be a direct replacement for Lee, as he is a left-footed right winger with the ability to play in a more central role behind the striker.
Akliouche is contracted to Monaco until 2028, and they are standing firm on their €60 million valuation.
