Paris Saint-Germain is about to make a fourth bid for Monaco playmaker Maghnes Akliouche, and that means Liverpool faces a serious risk of missing out on a huge target. While the Reds are definitely eyeing the French star to bolster their attack, PSG is showing they’re not messing around, inching closer to Monaco’s asking price.
Monaco’s €70 Million Man Is In High Demand
Akliouche is seriously on the market because Monaco needs to generate €150 million, and he is one of their absolute most valuable assets. They reportedly want around €70 million to let him go, which, let’s be real, is a chunk of change. But when you look at his numbers, you get why he’s worth it. Last season alone, the 24-year-old playmaker racked up six goals and six assists in 21 Ligue 1 appearances. He didn’t just show up for league play either, delivering a goal and three assists, plus creating seven big chances, in just 10 UEFA Champions League appearances. The season before that? He bagged seven goals and 12 assists across 43 appearances in all competitions. This isn’t just a guy who can pass, this is a playmaker who creates and finishes, and he performs when it matters.
Liverpool Needs To Move Now Before PSG Wins This Race
Liverpool desperately needs a player of Akliouche’s caliber, especially after club legend Mohamed Salah moved on. That’s a huge void to fill, and Akliouche’s creativity, close control, and ability to produce in the biggest games make him a perfect fit for Andoni Iraola’s long-term project at Anfield. The €70 million asking price is “relatively attainable” in a market where elite attacking talent often commands far higher fees, making him a smart investment. But here’s the kicker: PSG, the European champions, are relentless, preparing another push for him and getting closer to that €70 million mark. Liverpool literally cannot afford to hesitate if they truly see Akliouche as a key piece. They risk watching another priority target slip away if they don’t act decisively right now.
The race for Akliouche is heating up, and it’s going to be fascinating to see who blinks first. Liverpool has to go all-in if they want this guy at Anfield, especially with the Reds also chasing Bradley Barcola. You’ve got to wonder if they can secure both, but right now, Akliouche is the immediate battle.
