According to reports, Liverpool<\/a> have made an \u2018approach\u2019 in an attempt to hijack PSG in the race to sign Monaco\u2019s Maghnes Akliouche.<\/p>\n

So far this summer, Liverpool <\/a>have splashed out on two summer signings, having landed Jeremy Jacquet and Victor Munoz.<\/p>\n

Despite signing Munoz, the Reds remain in the market for one more winger to fill the void left by Mohamed Salah, but their search for a second new winger has not gone to plan.<\/p>\n

They have already discovered that a move for Real Madrid target Michael Olise is impossible, while PSG standout Bradley Barcola will be difficult to sign due to competition from Arsenal and his current club making huge demands.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have also targeted RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande<\/a>, but it was recently reported that he has decided to favour a move to PSG this summer.<\/p>\n

With PSG seemingly dilly-dallying over signing Diomande, a report this week from our pals at TEAMtalk revealed that the Reds have made a late bid to sign the teenager, but he has batted away these advances as he closes in on a move to the Champions League holders.<\/a><\/p>\n

Liverpool try to hijack PSG for Maghnes Akliouche<\/p>\n

PSG are also targeting Akliouche, but Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas has now revealed that Liverpool have made a late play to sign him.<\/p>\n

Thomas said on X: Exclusive: #Liverpoolfc have made an initial approach to #Monaco for #France winger Maghnes Akliouche.<\/p>\n

\u2018#Lfc have checked on the potential availability of the #PSG target. More on @SkySportsNews and http:\/\/SkySports.com.\u2019<\/p>\n

On Sky Sports, it is noted that Akliouche is a \u2018prime target\u2019 for PSG<\/a>, though they are yet to reach an agreement with Monaco over a fee.<\/p>\n

The report claims they have \u2018made several offers for him\u2019. At the moment, none of their offers \u2018have been acceptable to Monaco\u2019, with their \u2018most recent believed to be in the region of \u00a334m\u2019.<\/p>\n

Reds journalist David Davis has confirmed that Diomande is not available for Liverpool, but he has encouraged them to make a move for Barcola instead.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI think Liverpool would be mental to get back into the mix. [Manchester] City and Arsenal have also asked about Diomande; made real inquiries for him as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you\u2019d still expect Diomande to end up at PSG.\u201d<\/p>\n

On signing Barcola instead, Davis continued: \u201cIt\u2019s quite clear he\u2019s Liverpool\u2019s top target.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00a385 million isn\u2019t going to get it done. PSG will want more than \u00a3120m (\u20ac141m, $161m). It\u2019s hard to gauge a price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis added: \u201cYou\u2019d want movement on it this week. If we\u2019re going to make a bid, let\u2019s get it on.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a left winger, but he has played on the right side, and he can play across the front line.\u201d<\/p>\n
