Liverpool Make Contact With Monaco Over Maghnes Akliouche Transfer

Concrete interest has emerged linking Liverpool to Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche, with CaughtOffside reporting that the Reds have made an approach to the Ligue 1 club as they search for attacking reinforcements this summer.

Akliouche, a French winger who registered 21 goals and 24 assists for Monaco, is described by CaughtOffside as one of Liverpool’s leading targets as the club explores options to strengthen their frontline. The same report notes he has also been of interest to PSG, placing him in elevated company among Europe’s attacking talent this window.

This is a first mention on the thread — filed under speculative, sitting squarely at the interest stage. CaughtOffside carry this at tier three, so the appropriate read is that contact has been made but no framework for a deal has yet been reported. No fee and no contract length have been put into the public domain at this point.

What moved: CaughtOffside report Liverpool have made a formal approach to Monaco — the step beyond scouting, but well short of talks over structure or terms.

What’s left before the next stage: a response from Monaco and any indication that the two clubs have sat down to discuss the shape of a transfer. If that materialises, this card moves to [TALKS].

No Socceroos or Matildas implication — Akliouche is French-Algerian and not eligible for Australia.
