Liverpool faces setback in pursuit of Akliouche amid PSG negotiations

Summary

Liverpool's effort to sign Maghnes Akliouche is reportedly faltering as Paris Saint-Germain solidifies its position in the negotiations. Despite Liverpool's past interest, PSG has advanced talks with Monaco and appears closer to finalizing a deal within the week. Akliouche has expressed his preference for a move to PSG, complicating Liverpool's strategy. Monaco's asking price of around €50 million remains a key hurdle in discussions, with PSG having already rejected three proposals. The recruitment team's focus on high-quality attackers continues, but Liverpool is not pressing for a player who has clearly chosen another club.
