Despite the persistent rumours and interest of major European clubs such as Inter Milan, Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain, Maghnes Akliouche is expected to stay at AS Monaco for next season. The Monegasque club has set a price of 70 million euros, dissuading the contenders. This situation, although delicate for the player, does not seem to worry the management of AS Monaco, which is optimistic about its continuation. Thiago Scuro, the general manager, expressed this confidence in the ahead-game against Lille, stressing the player’s intention to stay in Monaco. Coach Adi Hütter also addressed the issue, stressing that Akliouche is part of the team and that he is going through a difficult time because of this situation, which is reflected in his performance during the season.
Following the recent defeat against Lille, hot reactions were received from supporters and observers. Sébastien, a 30-year-old supporter from Nemours, analyzed the game as being very open, with an important energy balance between the two teams. He regretted Monaco’s lack of offensive lucidity, stressing that Lille had been more realistic. He identified Mawissa as his best player, praising his defensive strength, while pointing Minamino as his main defect, criticizing his bad choices and lack of offensive input. He rated the coach 4/10, finding that the original composition was not balanced and that the replacements did not make any significant changes.
Sébastien also revealed that he still has a game ritual, consisting of a “small punch”, particularly important in games where defeat seems inevitable. He stressed the lack of accuracy and concentration that often characterize AS Monaco meetings. He stated that he intends to follow the team both at home and outside, regardless of whether he is a representative of the club. His message ends with an enthusiastic “DAGHÉ!”, expressing his unwavering support for AS Monaco.
