After PSG said goodbye to the Yan Diomandé trail this Sunday evening, the Parisian club should see a more favorable outcome in the Maghnes Akliouche saga. Author of another convincing season with AS Monaco, the French international (10 caps) has been followed by Luis Campos and Luis Enrique for many months. Mutual interest has existed since the 24-year-old player agreed to join the Parisian club this summer.
However, Liverpool has entered the race and is ready to compete with the Parisians. The Reds are even willing to make a higher offer than that of the French champions in order to convince Monaco to sell their player.
According to our information, this does not change Maghnes Akliouche's will. Despite the strong interest from the English club and its ability to offer more in terms of salary, the Monégasque only wants to join Paris Saint-Germain.
Akliouche Turns Down Liverpool, Wants Paris
Still according to our information, the player's desire is completely independent of the Bradley Barcola case. While the Parisian winger does not want to extend his contract with PSG, the capital club's interest in Akliouche is in no way linked to this matter. The French champion and double reigning European champion had already targeted the Monégasque for many months and continues its offensive.
