Although their squad is packed with talent, the Saints have set their sights on the young French forward Maghnes Akliouche
Desire Doue, Bradley Barcola, Senny Mayulu, Ibrahim Mbaye, Quentin Ndjantou - all Paris Saint-Germain forwards younger than 23. Add the 25-year-old Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the three years older, but still in his prime, 2025 Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, and you get a world-class attack, lethal for rivals.
And still, it's apparently not enough...
According to the latest information from France, published by Foot Mercato, the Parisians have set their sights on the Monaco gem, Les Blues international, and one of the most talented forwards in the country, Maghnes Akliouche.
🚨🥈| PSG are interested in Maghnes Akliouche (24). The Frenchman is considered a good market opportunity, due to his versatility in the attacking positions. — The player is also attracting interest from many clubs in England.

And it's well-known that when PSG want someone, they usually end up at Parc des Princes. After all, the 24-year-old's case resembles that of Kylian Mbappe, who also shone at Monaco before joining the Saints for €180 million in 2018.
At first, it may seem that the Ligue 1 table toppers are piling up the forwards, but given that they plan to offload some of them, Lee Kang-in and Goncalo Ramos in the first place, Akliouche's arrival would inject fresh blood into the team's system, though several English clubs are also keen on the Frenchman.
While they wait for good news from Monaco, PSG received excellent news from Brest last night, as their rivals in the title race, Lens, played only 3-3 at Stade Francis-Le Ble, giving Luis Enrique's crew a fantastic opportunity to stretch their lead in Ligue 1 to six points with a potential road win over Angers (20.00), ahead of the final four league rounds.
