Bayer Leverkusen Set Sights on €70M-Rated Liverpool, PSG Transfer Target Amid Manchester City Links | OneFootball

Maghnes Akliouche could be on the move this summer, with PSG, Manchester City, and Liverpool all showing strong interest in the AS Monaco midfielder. The 23-year-old has been one of Ligue 1’s standout performers, and a new challenge may be on the horizon.

Manchester United have also been linked, with L’Équipe having previously reported that they entered the race, setting up a possible battle with their Premier League rivals for his signature.

Monaco are reportedly seeking a fee between €70 million and €80 million, but that hasn’t discouraged any of the interested clubs, making a summer exit increasingly likely.

Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported Monday that Bayer 04 Leverkusen are keeping a close eye on Akliouche. The club has already held initial talks, but AS Monaco’s steep asking price remains a major obstacle.

The 23-year-old winger is viewed as a dream addition for Leverkusen, though the deal is still in the early stages and could be tough to pull off. One to keep an eye on.

Akliouche is drawing serious interest from top clubs, and Monaco appear willing to let him go if the price is right. According to a previous report from CaughtOffside, the 22-year-old is valued between £50.2 million and £58.6 million, and Monaco would consider offers in that range.

Monaco are said to prefer a Premier League move over the risk of losing him to PSG, whose continued interest has raised internal concerns.

Akliouche has been involved in 15 goals this season, mostly while playing on the right wing—adding to speculation he could eventually replace Mohamed Salah.

90min France recently reported that Manchester City and PSG have ramped up their efforts, making a summer exit increasingly likely. Monaco have set an asking price of around €70 million. Pep Guardiola is a known admirer of Akliouche, whose left-footed creativity and versatility could make him a natural successor to Bernardo Silva.
