James Pearce has claimed that a move to Liverpool for Maghnes Akliouche is a \u2018possibility\u2019 this summer and has hinted at how much the AS Monaco winger would likely cost.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Sky Sports reported that the Reds had made an \u2018initial approach\u2019 for the 24-year-old, in addition to their much-publicised interest in Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n
Fabrizio Romano outlined that Akliouche seems most likely to join PSG, with the European champions being his preferred option and a contract agreement apparently in place, although Pearce isn\u2019t ruling out the Merseysiders from landing him.
\nPearce: Akliouche to Liverpool is a \u2018possibility\u2019<\/p>\n
Speaking about the Monaco winger on GIVEMESPORT\u2019s Market Madness podcast, The Athletic\u2019s Liverpool correspondent said: \u201cThey\u2019ve certainly had some discussions about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was told yesterday that there had been an approach earlier on in the window for the Monaco right-winger, and he is just one of a number of targets being kind of assessed at the minute before they decide exactly what they\u2019re going to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe would certainly be a cheaper alternative to Bradley Barcola if you couldn\u2019t get the PSG man. I think you\u2019d be looking at \u20ac50m-\u20ac60m [\u00a342.7m-\u00a351.3m] for Akliouche, so yeah, he\u2019s certainly one that I say is a possibility, rather than a kind of definite they\u2019ll be making a move for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The opportunity is there for Liverpool to snap up Akliouche<\/p>\n
Considering that PSG would reportedly seek more than \u00a3125m to sell Barcola this summer, Akliouche would appear to be a far more easily attainable alternative for Liverpool, who very much need a top-level winger to replace Mo Salah in their starting XI.<\/p>\n
The Monaco star isn\u2019t quite in the same premium bracket as his France teammate at the Parc des Princes, with the latter having a better goal return across his career and being more proven at the highest level in the Champions League and World Cup.
\n\tSenior club games \tSenior club goals \tGoals per game
\nBradley Barcola \t199 \t46 \t0.23
\nMaghnes Akliouche \t139 \t23 \t0.17<\/p>\n
However, if Barcola proves to be out of reach, then the 24-year-old would be well worth elevating to primary target status, and signing him would absolutely be preferable to not strengthening on the flanks at all this summer.<\/p>\n
Even though Rio Ngumoha has put himself forward as an option to play on the right, Liverpool still need to bring in another winger so that they\u2019re adequately stocked in terms of squad depth, with another gruelling season in store for the Reds.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll have to wait and see whether LFC will get to the stage of actively bidding for Akliouche, but there certainly seems to be an opportunity to bring him to Anfield if they can muster a sustained pursuit for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
