  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain has confirmed the signing of France international midfielder Maghnes Akliouche from Ligue 1 club Monaco. The 24-year-old creative playmaker is set to join the European champions until 2031 in a deal reportedly worth €50 million (US$58 million), according to French media reports. Akliouche expressed his excitement about the move, stating that joining such a prestigious club holds great significance for him and his family.\n\nThe 15-year-old Monaco star progressed through their ranks before making his debut for the club in 2021. During his time at Monaco, Akliouche made 139 appearances in all competitions, scoring 23 goals and providing 28 assists. He was an integral part of Thierry Henry's French national team, which secured a silver medal at the 2024 Olympics. Akliouche has made 10 appearances for France and was a member of the squad for the 2026 World Cup.\n\nThis signing strengthens Luis Enrique's attacking options, as the departure of Goncalo Ramos to AC Milan and Lee Kang-in to Atletico Madrid has left a gap in the team's lineup. Bradley Barcola's future at PSG remains uncertain, with Liverpool reportedly interested in the winger.",
