PSG consider Liverpool and Manchester City target Maghnes Akliouche as Lee Kang-in replacement | OneFootball

Premier League sides are in for AS Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche (24), but they may yet face competition from Paris Saint-Germain, as per a report from L’Équipe. The European champions view the France international as a potential replacement for Lee Kang-in.

Akliouche is expected to leave formative club Monaco this summer. It was reported by L’Équipe over the weekend that Liverpool’s interest in the forward was growing and that they could be tempted to table a €50m bid.

Manchester City are long-term suitors and their interest could be reignited during the off-season. However, PSG may enter the race. Atletico Madrid showed interest in Lee last summer. PSG warded off that interest, but if the La Liga club return to the table this summer, the South Korea international could leave. 

In the event of Lee’s departure, a replacement has been lined up – Akliouche. Despite the Frenchman’s contract running until 2028, he is expected to leave the Principality club.
