Making full progress with AS Monaco, Maghnes Akliouche is getting closer to the international level. Le Bleuet has not yet been summoned or contacted by the coach of the France team Didier Deschamps. And during this time, the Algerian Football Federation is trying to convince the attacking midfielder.
Maghnes Akliouche has clearly reached a milestone this season. With the confidence of his coach Adi Hütter, the AS Monaco winger has firmly established himself in the eleven with remarkable performances. Well before his double against Brest (3-2) on Friday, the young 22-year-old talent notably distinguished himself against FC Barcelona (2-1) in the Champions League on September 19. Suffice to say that his performance could not escape Didier Deschamps. But so far, the coach of the France team has not summoned him, nor even contacted him to talk about a future in Blue.
No contact with Deschamps
« No, I did not speak with Didier Deschampsconfided Maghnes Akliouche in the mixed zone on Friday. I don't know if I'm far from the international level but I'm simply going to repeat my performances to continue this great dynamic. I go where I'm told, I play my matches and I continue to work every day. » If the French coach still seems to hesitate, another nation could well benefit from it.
As a dual national, the Monegasque also has the possibility of representing Algeria, whose leaders hope to convince him. There are even concrete exchanges between the two parties, reveals journalist Lino Giafferi. “ Maghnes Akliouche is in contact with the Algerian Federation, which has been working tirelessly in recent weeks to convince him to represent the Fennecs », Wrote our colleague on the social network X, without mentioning the wishes of the player. In September, the newspaper L'Equipe affirmed that Maghnes Akliouche, French Espoirs international, only saw himself joining the Blues.
