AS Monaco will reportedly demand around £47.5 million to part ways with 23-year-old French playmaker Maghnes Akliouche this summer amid his links with Tottenham.
According to a report by Football Insider, Maghnes Akliouche is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The Lilywhites are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a versatile playmaker in the summer transfer window. So, the 23-year-old AS Monaco winger has emerged as a target for the North London outfit.
The 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners are ready to intensify their efforts to sign the Frenchman from AS Monaco amid the stalled talks to land Manchester City whizkid Savinho. Meanwhile, Ligue 1 giants will demand around £47.5 million to part ways with Akliouche.
Maghnes Akliouche and his recent rise
Maghnes Akliouche has established himself as one of the best young prospects in Ligue 1 since breaking into the first-team squad at AS Monaco. The Tremblay-en-France native spent his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the youth division at AS Monaco. The 23-year-old broke into the first-team squad at AS Monaco in the 2021/22 season but enjoyed his breakthrough in the 2023/24 campaign.
Akliouche has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for AS Monaco while chipping in with 17 goals and 17 assists. Meanwhile, the French playmaker’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the French winger, with Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the final days of the summer transfer window.
London calling?
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Maghnes Akliouche is understandable. The Lilywhites are scouring the market for a versatile playmaker after losing James Maddison to a long-term knee injury before the season began. Additionally, Dejan Kulusevski is on the sidelines, with Thomas Frank seeking a creative solution from the market.
Several candidates, including Savinho, have emerged on Tottenham’s radar, with Akliouche being an alternative to the Manchester City whizkid. The 2024/25 UEFA Europa League winners have accelerated their move for the 23-year-old Frenchman, as talks to sign Savinho from Manchester City have not progressed.
Meanwhile, AS Monaco will demand around £47.5 million to part ways with Akliouche, giving Tottenham clarity in the push for his signature. It will be interesting to see if the North London giants fork out £47.5 million to sign the French playmaker in the final days of the summer transfer window.
