Liverpool in contact with Monaco over Akliouche

Liverpool have continued their pursuit of Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche, having previously and recently made initial enquiries to assess his availability as they seek to bolster their attack following Mohamed Salah’s departure. Reports indicate Paris Saint-Germain have also targeted the 24-year-old, with Monaco reportedly rejecting bids around £34 million (€40 million) as unacceptable, underscoring the French club’s high valuation. Monaco’s stance has kept Akliouche’s price tag in the spotlight, with several outlets citing a €50 million (£42.6 million) figure that Liverpool could consider if they press ahead. The Reds’ interest comes as manager Andoni Iraola emphasizes the need for a dynamic winger, with Liverpool confirming they are weighing multiple options after already adding Victor Muñoz from Osasuna. While some reports suggest the enquiry may have remained at an early stage, other outlets describe Liverpool as one of several suitors, alongside Tottenham and PSG, engaged in bidding and negotiation dynamics for a player who has featured for France at the World Cup. Akliouche’s profile—primarily a right-sided winger who can operate as an attacking midfielder—has kept him on the radar of top clubs despite Monaco’s insistence on a substantial return.
