Liverpool dealt transfer blow as Maghnes Akliouche agrees PSG move | OneFootball

Liverpool have suffered a blow in their pursuit of AS Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche.

Foot Mercato claims the France international has agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG could complete a deal for the Monaco star after Kang-in Lee completes his move to Atletico Madrid.

Yan Diomande is Liverpool’s priority

Liverpool have already completed a deal for Spanish forward Victor Munoz. They have now turned their attention towards RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande.

The Reds’ initial €100 million offer for the Ivorian has been rejected, but they are expected to submit an improved bid. There is growing optimism that an agreement can be reached.

Diomande was named the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season last term and has carried his club form onto the international stage. He has starred for Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup.

The 19-year-old is the only player this century to complete at least 10 dribbles and create at least 10 chances across his first three FIFA World Cup games.

Pundit Jamie Carragher has backed Liverpool’s pursuit of Diomande, saying he has similar traits to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

If Liverpool miss out on the Ivory Coast international, they are considering a move for Brighton & Hove Albion winger Yankuba Minteh.

PSG’s Bradley Barcola, Lille’s Mathias Fernandez-Pardo and Koln’s Said El Mala are also on their radar.
