Transfer news – Liverpool try to beat PSG to Akliouche!

Maghnes Akliouche, a 24-year-old attacking midfielder/winger for AS Monaco (under contract until 2028) and the French national team, has been reported as close to joining Paris Saint-Germain in this 2026 summer transfer window. But reaching an agreement with Monaco seems difficult. Sky Sports, Le Parisien and Foot Mercato are now reporting interest from Liverpool in the French international.

Le Parisien: “Liverpool step up their pursuit of Maghnes Akliouche”

Liverpool are stepping up their pursuit of Maghnes Akliouche. According to our information, confirming Sky Sports’ report, the Merseyside club recently made inquiries about the young AS Monaco attacking midfielder, who looks more likely than ever to leave this summer. As revealed in our pages on Sunday, PSG have stepped up their move by submitting several offers, all of which the Principality club has rejected so far. The two-time European champions have already reached an agreement with the player, and all that remains is to find common ground with the Monaco club, which is said to be asking for a fee of around €50 million.

Foot Mercato: “the Monaco player only wants to join Paris Saint-Germain”

Liverpool have entered the race and are ready to challenge the Parisians. The Reds are even willing to make an offer higher than that of the French champions in order to convince Monaco to sell their player. According to our information, however, that changes nothing about Maghnes Akliouche’s intentions. Despite the strong interest from the English club and its ability to offer more in salary terms, the Monaco player only wants to join Paris Saint-Germain. Still according to our information, the player’s desire is completely independent of the Bradley Barcola situation.”

After Yan Diomande (the 19-year-old winger from RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast) heading to Real Madrid, PSG are now seeing Liverpool try to insert themselves into the Akliouche case. At least in the rumors, because there is still nothing concrete and therefore no certainty. Paris may also be in a very strong position and highly confident. If the player’s desire is clear, it will be difficult to get ahead of the Parisian club.

Except that, once again, this is not an official position. There have only been rumors surrounding Akliouche. A move to PSG seems entirely possible, with a major step ahead for the Monaco player and a profile that fits coach Luis Enrique’s philosophy well. His versatility would be a real asset, and there is talent there to refine and make more consistent. Something the Spaniard is very good at doing. He would also gain a player who is fully comfortable on the right side of the attack, which is somewhat lacking in the current squad.

However, nothing is done yet and other options remain open. Liverpool among them, even if the English club seems to be mentioned in every deal involving wingers. The Reds are not going to sign everyone, though. Let’s wait for a clearer picture. It could happen quickly, as the transfer window — at least on PSG’s side — seems ready to become more concrete.
