Man City Face Major PSG Battle for €70M-Rated Bernardo Silva Replacement Amid Man Utd Interest

On Friday, 90min France reported that the midfielder has attracted strong interest from Manchester City and PSG, with a summer move looking increasingly likely.

Monaco are open to selling and have set an asking price of around €70 million. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is said to be a big admirer of Akliouche’s skill set—particularly his versatility, left-footed ability, and dribbling—and views him as a potential successor to Bernardo Silva. City reportedly made an approach during the winter window, but Monaco were not willing to sell midseason.

PSG are also in the mix, though their approach has been more reserved. The French champions have been in contact with Akliouche’s camp for several weeks but have yet to make a formal move with Monaco. For now, PSG remain focused on finishing their season before diving fully into the transfer market.

While a transfer seems likely, there’s still a chance Akliouche stays put. If Monaco qualify for the Champions League, the midfielder—under contract through 2028—could be convinced to remain for another season.
