After a season that fell short of expectations, Liverpool are gearing up for another major spending spree this summer—and one name emerging on their radar is AS Monaco's dynamic forward, Maghnes Akliouche. The 24-year-old French talent has caught the eye of the Reds' recruitment team, according to reports from L'Équipe.

Akliouche was already on the verge of leaving his boyhood club last summer, with Premier League giants Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur circling, alongside European champions Paris Saint-Germain. However, a move to north London didn't appeal to the playmaker, and Monaco's hefty €70 million price tag scared off other suitors. So, he stayed put at the Stade Louis II for another season.

But this summer, the door is open for his departure—and the suitors are lining up once again. PSG remain keen on the France international, and now Liverpool have entered the fray. The Merseyside club is reportedly ready to test the waters with a bid in the region of €50 million, signaling their intent to bolster their attacking options as they look to reclaim their place at the top of English football.
