Liverpool are believed to be among those monitoring his situation closely, alongside Premier League rivals Manchester City.However, the race for Akliouche has now taken a significant twist.According to a report from L’Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to enter the battle for the highly-rated attacker as they line up potential replacements for Lee Kang-in.

PSG’s interest could complicate matters considerably, given their financial muscle and ability to offer a prominent role in a title-dominant side.Akliouche is currently valued at around €50 million, a fee that reflects both his current performances and his projected ceiling.He is widely expected to depart Monaco this summer, despite still being under contract until 2028. The idea then seems clear, should Lee Kang-in leave the Parc Des Princes, the European champions will go for Akliouche.Last summer, both Manchester City and Tottenham showed strong interest, but Monaco’s reported €70 million valuation proved a stumbling block for potential buyers.

Akliouche was also believed to have reservations about a move to Spurs, ultimately staying put.There will also be intrigue over how heavily Liverpool decide to lean into the French market this summer, with the club having been linked to PSG’s Bradley Barcola and RC Len’s Mamadou Sangare.Akliouche’s emergence, combined with his age and upside, makes him exactly the kind of name that excites supporters even if he is not yet a household figure in England.
