MU, Man City battle for Monaco's 80 million euro 'gem'

Maghnes Akliouche is attracting the interest of many names.

Akliouche's brilliant performances for Monaco this season with 6 goals and 10 assists have made him one of the hottest targets on the transfer market. According to L'Equipe , Monaco are willing to let Akliouche go if they receive an offer that meets their €80 million (£68.6 million) price tag.

The French player of Algerian origin himself also yearns for a move to an ambitious Champions League destination, where he can develop his career at the top level in the next decade.

Manchester City are on the lookout for a new playmaker to replace Kevin De Bruyne, who is expected to leave in the summer, and Akliouche is considered one of the top targets. The Cityzens value the young midfielder's creativity and ability to create chances.

However, Manchester United are not sitting still. The "Red Devils" are hoping to qualify for the Champions League through winning the Europa League, and if that happens, they are willing to "spend a lot" to bring in promising young talents such as Akliouche and Tyler Dibling from Southampton.

Notably, Paris Saint-Germain have also jumped into the race for Akliouche’s signature. The French giants want to strengthen their squad with quality and potential young players, and Akliouche fits that philosophy perfectly.

Monaco coach Adi Hutter could not hide his pride in his student: "We are extremely satisfied with Akliouche's remarkable progress over the past two seasons. He has become a truly talented player. Although only 23 years old, Akliouche is ready to step up to the next level at a big club. I believe there will be many teams eager to own him."

Will the "jewel" Akliouche choose to join one of the two giants of English football, or will he return home to play for PSG? The answer will probably be revealed in the upcoming exciting summer transfer window.
