Liverpool Ready to Surpass PSG’s Offer
Despite PSG’s latest proposal for Akliouche amounting to approximately €40m, the Reds are understood to be prepared to table a higher bid to Les Monégasques than the one currently on the table from Les Parisiens. However, Akliouche’s clear preference for PSG suggests Liverpool’s increased offer is unlikely to sway his decision regarding his next transfer.
| Club | Latest Offer (€) | Akliouche’s Preference |
|---|---|---|
| Paris Saint-Germain | 40,000,000 | Preferred |
| Liverpool | Higher than 40,000,000 (exact amount not disclosed) | Not Preferred |
PSG Pursuit Continues with Fourth Proposal
L’Équipe has reported that the UEFA Champions League winners are set to prepare a fourth bid in their ongoing campaign to secure the services of Akliouche. Thus far, all three previous offers from Paris Saint-Germain have been firmly turned down by Monaco, underlining the Monegasque club’s resolve in the negotiations for their 24-year-old midfielder.
