Premier League Battle Brewing for Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche

Akliouche eyes England move

Tottenham’s relegation battle has stalled their pursuit of Akliouche, allowing Villa and Newcastle to position themselves for a summer transfer.

Sources suggest Manchester United and Liverpool could enter the race for Akliouche if he confirms plans to leave Monaco in the next transfer window...

Several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa and Newcastle United, are preparing bids to bring Maghnes Akliouche to England.

Tottenham have been the most active suitor so far, but market uncertainty and the club’s relegation risk have created an opening for rivals to step in and make their own move.

There’s a growing belief that 24-year-old Akliouche will depart Monaco at the end of the season, with Paris Saint-Germain keen to keep the midfielder in Ligue 1.

That said, scouts from both Aston Villa and Newcastle have been monitoring him closely in recent weeks. If he opts against staying in France, the Premier League appears to be a strong possibility.

Should Akliouche decide on a move to England, he won’t be short of potential destinations.

Aston Villa look strongly positioned in the race, with Champions League football on the table next season alongside the promise of regular Premier League minutes.

The club is also searching for an attacker with creativity and flair, while Newcastle have reportedly added Akliouche to their shortlist as a potential replacement if Anthony Gordon departs.

Tottenham haven’t dropped out of the running, but their relegation fight has put any move on hold. Survival in the top flight would likely see them table a serious financial offer.

🚨 Luis Enrique has made it clear that he does not want a major squad overhaul this summer, but the PSG boss is still keen to inject some new blood into his team.

If a transfer becomes concrete in the next window, other Premier League sides are expected to be informed of his availability.

That could bring Manchester United and Liverpool into the conversation as well.
