Men's football•
Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce the signing of Maghnes Akliouche.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who will wear the number 11 shirt, has signed for the Club through to 2031.
Born in Tremblay-en-France, Seine-Saint-Denis in 2002, Maghnes Akliouche took up football with Villemobile Sports in 2008, aged just six. In 2014, he joined US Torcy before moving to Monaco in 2017. It was with AS Monaco that he made his Ligue 1 debut on 16 October 2021, against Olympique Lyonnais. The versatile midfielder signed his first professional contract in the principality a few months later, in February 2022.
He did not have to wait long to open his account at the highest level. On 7 January 2023, during a Coupe de France match against Rodez AF, Maghnes Akliouche put his side ahead with a splendid strike from the edge of the box - his first professional goal.
Technical, creative and hard working, the young left-footer from the Île-de-France region also made his mark on the European stage. On the very first matchday of the 2024-2025 Champions League campaign, he scored his first goal in the competition to help Monaco notch a 2–1 victory over FC Barcelona. In what was a standout campaign, he then provided an assist against Dinamo Zagreb before finding the net against Red Star Belgrade. Against Benfica, he proved decisive once again by setting up a goal for one of his team-mates in one of his finest performances of the season.
Following a promising start to his professional career, Maghnes Akliouche gradually established himself as one of AS Monaco’s key players. He reached new heights in the 2024-2025 season, which he finished with seven goals and 12 assists in 43 matches, following that up with seven goals and 11 assists in 43 matches in 2025-2026.
His performances earned him a call-up to the national team. First called up to the France U20s in March 2022, he went on to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with Les Bleuets. A silver medallist, he scored his only goal of the tournament in the final at the Parc des Princes. Thanks to his impressive performances, he was called up to the senior French national team for the first time in September 2025. He made his debut for France against Ukraine before scoring his first international goal against Azerbaijan on 16 November of that year. Building on this progress, the new Parisian No.11 was part of Les Bleus' squad for the 2026 World Cup.
Signing for Paris Saint-Germain is an immense source of pride. Having grown up in the Paris region, joining such a prestigious club means so much to me and my family. I would like to thank President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, Luis Campos and Luis Enrique for the trust they have placed in me, as well as everyone who has supported me along the way. I can't wait to wear this shirt, continue my development at this great club and give everything I have to represent Paris Saint-Germain in front of our supporters.
