PSG preparing fourth offer as Liverpool step in

The future of Monaco's young French star has become more complicated with an unexpected third party entering the picture. According to Sky Sports, Liverpool have made an initial approach for Maghnes Akliouche, with the Reds checking on the 24-year-old's availability. PSG have also been pushing to sign the player for weeks, but Monaco have rejected their offers so far; their latest bid was around £34 million (€40 million).

As the fee negotiation continues, PSG's plan has also become clear. According to Yahoo Sports, PSG are preparing a fourth offer; Monaco are reported to want a fixed fee of €50 million.

Liverpool's entry contrasts with a discouraging reality for PSG. Akliouche is said to have already agreed to a five-year contract with PSG weeks ago, though Liverpool's approach represents an unexpected element of competition; the player's own camp has informed Liverpool that his priority remains PSG.

The reason Liverpool have entered this file is also clear. Searching for a right-winger following Salah's departure, Liverpool's approach comes after top target Yan Diomande chose PSG instead — a sign the club is working on alternative plans.

The player's profile explains this intense interest. Having spent his entire professional career at Monaco and contributed 22 goals and 27 assists in 117 appearances over the past three seasons, Akliouche was part of France's World Cup squad this summer, though he remained on the bench in the third-place match against England.
