Akliouche Hailed as Major Tactical Upgrade for Luis Enrique
Paris Saint-Germain's search for dynamic midfield reinforcements has led to prominent journalist Jonathan Bensoudan publicly backing a move for Monaco starlet Maghnes Akliouche. Speaking on Ici Paris Ile de France, Bensoudan expressed his long-standing admiration for the 24-year-old playmaker, stating he has wanted to see him in Paris for over two years.
The French midfielder enjoyed a stellar campaign with Monaco, establishing himself as one of Ligue 1's most creative assets with high progressive pass completions. His tactical flexibility allows him to operate seamlessly across both advanced central midfield roles and the flanks, making him a highly coveted target for elite European clubs.

Bensoudan emphasized that Akliouche fits perfectly into the modern tactical setup of PSG manager Luis Enrique. "You can really project his future. Under Luis Enrique, he can become a highly versatile player who currently operates in the attacking line but could effortlessly integrate into the starting midfield trio," the journalist analyzed.
The transfer market expert also framed Akliouche as a direct and superior replacement for Lee Kang-In, who is currently linked with a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid. Bensoudan boldly claimed that signing the French youth international represents a massive step forward in overall technical quality compared to the departing South Korean midfielder.
