Akliouche Rejects Anfield Interest To Pursue PSG Transfer
Liverpool have suffered a major transfer setback in their pursuit of AS Monaco attacking midfielder Magnus Akliouche. Despite the Reds preparing a more lucrative financial package than their rivals, journalist Santi Aouna reports that the versatile French playmaker has firmly set his sights on joining Luis Enrique's squad at Paris Saint-Germain.
Negotiations between Monaco and the French champions remain active while the selling club evaluates incoming proposals. Paris Saint-Germain have already seen three separate bids rejected by the Principality club, though expectations grow that a fourth improved offer will finally satisfy Monaco's valuation for the talented youngster.
