In the end funny story.
Here’s a funny little twist about the Maghnes Akliouche transfer saga:
After weeks of headlines linking him to Tottenham, Arsenal, PSG, Man City, and even Inter, fans started joking online that Akliouche must have cloned himself, because apparently every big club in Europe wanted him at the same time.
One meme even showed him packing his bags with 10 different club shirts in his suitcase — ready to join whichever team made the next rumor! 😅
And the funniest part? Despite all the chaos,
Maghnes himself calmly said:
“I’m here, at Monaco.”
So while the world was busy virtually moving him around on Football Manager, he just stayed put, scored goals, and let the gossip do the running instead of him.
