Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche

Key Takeaways:

  • Inter enquired about Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche
  • Ademola Lookman remains Inter’s priority target
  • Akliouche’s price tag is around €70 million

Inter have made an enquiry for Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche after the expected signing of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta became far from certain. The Nerazzurri still view the Nigerian international as their priority for the position, but Atalanta’s refusal to consider the €45 million offer has prompted them to look for alternatives.

According to reports, one of the names as potential new addition to Inter squad is Akliouche. The 23-year-old has made six appearances for the French national team. His name was linked with the Nerazzurri as far back as a year ago.

A Monaco youth product, he established himself in the first team and last season impressed with 7 goals and 12 assists in 43 official matches. He is under contract with the Monegasques until 2028.

Atalanta are asking around €50 million for Lookman, but the main obstacle is their unwillingness to sell the player to a direct Serie A rival. Akliouche is expected to be even more expensive, with a price tag of around €70 million.
