Bayer Leverkusen has established contact with Maghnes Akliouche from AS Monaco. The 23-year-old is at the top of Bayer's list. Discussions between the player's side and both clubs have begun, but concrete negotiations have not yet taken place. The high transfer fee demanded by Monaco, between 65 and 70 million euros, could be a reason for the lack of negotiations. Akliouche is under contract until 2028, giving Monaco a strong negotiating position. Additionally, other top European clubs have also shown interest.
