Liverpool Make Approach for Monaco Winger Maghnes Akliouche
The move signals Liverpool's push for a cheaper wide attacker to help replace Mohamed Salah.
Overview
- Liverpool have formally approached AS Monaco about signing Maghnes Akliouche as they widen their search for a right‑side attacker.
- Paris Saint‑Germain are active rivals for the 24‑year‑old and reports say Akliouche has shown a preference for PSG while club‑to‑club talks with Monaco remain unresolved.
- Journalists place Akliouche’s valuation roughly between £42.7m and £51.3m (€50–60m) after Monaco rejected a lower offer of about £34m.
- Akliouche scored seven goals and provided 11 assists last season, earned a place in Didier Deschamps’ France squad, and is praised for ball‑carrying and chance creation that suit Andoni Iraola’s high‑tempo system.
- Sources describe Akliouche as a realistic, cost‑effective option on Liverpool’s shortlist rather than a confirmed priority and say negotiations are ongoing with no completed transfer announced.
