Liverpool officials have reportedly travelled to watch Monaco attacker Maghnes Akliouche in person as the club continues assessing potential attacking additions ahead of the summer transfer window.

Akliouche has caught attention across Europe thanks to his consistent performances in Ligue 1, where he has developed into a key attacking figure for Monaco, according to TEAMtalk. ??? ???????? | Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche (23) has been called up to the France national team for the FIRST time in his career! ?? pic.twitter.com/MBrYCOvYXy — EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) August 27, 2025 Graeme Bailey reports: “The Reds are conducting extensive due diligence on a range of options and are leaving no stone unturned in their search for a suitable successor. “Akliouche has now firmly entered that thinking, with his versatility, creativity and upward trajectory making him an appealing alternative.” Why are Liverpool so seriously interested in Akliouche?

While Liverpool routinely monitor a wide range of players, sending officials to watch Akliouche live suggests a more detailed level of interest. With multiple attacking targets reportedly under consideration, Akliouche appears to be among the names firmly on Liverpool’s radar as recruitment planning intensifies.
