Maghnes Akliouche, the 24-year-old AS Monaco (contracted until 2028) and France national team attacking midfielder/winger, is being touted as a key target for Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026 summer transfer window, with the door potentially ajar for a move. However, Le Parisien confirms that Liverpool is also in the running.
“Liverpool steps up pursuit of Maghnes Akliouche”
Liverpool is accelerating its efforts to sign Maghnes Akliouche. According to our information—which corroborates reports from Sky Sports—the Merseyside club has recently made inquiries about the young AS Monaco attacking midfielder, who looks more likely than ever to leave this summer.
As we revealed on Sunday, PSG has ramped up its pursuit 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; the only remaining step is finding common ground with the Monegasque club, which is reportedly seeking a fee in the region of €50 million.
As always, we remain cautious regarding rumors. Even when a report confirms information from another outlet, we know that is far from sufficient proof. This is especially true in a long-running saga where the player’s entourage or (and?) his club might be applying a bit of pressure. That is simply part of the transfer market “game.”
However, it is certainly possible that Liverpool is inquiring about Akliouche. He is an interesting player with obvious potential that needs to be nurtured to help him find greater consistency. Furthermore, a move to PSG is far from a certainty. There have been plenty of rumors but no official confirmation, so everything remains up in the air. Hopefully, we will see some concrete developments regarding PSG’s transfer activity soon. There is no rush, but it would be nice to have some clarity. After all, one can assume the club’s plans are more precise than the conflicting claims piling up around the situation.
