Liverpool make initial approach for Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche
Liverpool have made an initial approach to sign Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche as they look to beat Paris Saint-Germain to the France international’s signature.
The Premier League side have officially enquired about the potential availability of the 24-year-old.
However, they face stiff competition for the highly rated attacker from domestic rivals in France.
Paris Saint-Germain see bids rejected
Paris Saint-Germain have identified the versatile forward as a primary transfer target this summer.
The reigning Ligue 1 champions have already submitted multiple offers, which have all been turned down by Monaco.
Their most recent rejected bid for the French playmaker was reportedly in the region of £34m.
Versatility and international pedigree
The coveted attacker enjoyed an impressive domestic campaign last season, registering six goals and six assists across 31 league appearances.
He is capable of operating efficiently on the right flank or occupying a central attacking midfield role.
The talented creator was recently part of the French national squad, remaining an unused substitute during their 6-4 defeat to England in the World Cup third-place play-off.
