Full Story:
AS Monaco has made two exciting announcements for the upcoming season. Midfielder Maghnes Akliouche, a product of the club’s Academy, has extended his contract until 2028. Additionally, 17-year-old Nigerian forward George Ilenikhena has joined the team. Akliouche, who has become a key player under Adi Hütter, had an impressive season with 27 matches, 8 goals, and 4 assists. Ilenikhena, on the other hand, will make his debut in Ligue 1 with Monaco after playing for Amiens and the Royal Antwerp. Despite interest from various European clubs, Akliouche decided to stay with Monaco, with the club rejecting bids from PSG, Inter, and Leipzig. The talented midfielder played a crucial role in Monaco’s second-place finish and direct qualification to the Champions League last season. As for Ilenikhena, his rise to prominence has been remarkable, scoring goals in both the Jupiler Pro League and the Champions League. He is now ready to contribute to Monaco’s attacking force with the number 21 jersey.
