Liverpool are considering a double swoop for Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche and Lamine Camara, according to L’Equipe.
The Reds are exploring the market for Mohamed Salah’s replacement and have identified Akliouche as a target. Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in him.
Akliouche has scored seven goals and registered 11 assists in 41 games across all competitions this term.
He is primarily a right winger, but can also be deployed as an attacking midfielder, second striker and centre-forward, highlighting his versatility.
He is valued at €50 million and his departure from Monaco this summer is ‘almost certain’. Liverpool are reportedly ready to meet his valuation.
Akliouche is a cheaper alternative to RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and PSG’s Bradley Barcola, both of whom are high on the Reds’ attacking shortlist.
Camara is also on the radar of Arne Slot’s side, with the club ready to strengthen their midfield options. They are also preparing for Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister’s possible exits.
Camara is capable of breaking defences with incisive passes and offers an attacking presence in the final third. He has tallied one goal and four assists across all competitions.
The Senegalese also provides defensive support. Only RC Lens’ Malang Sarr and Metz’s Sadibou Sane are averaging more interceptions per game than him in the Ligue 1.
Monaco signed him from FC Metz for €15m in 2024. It is believed that they would demand around double that fee this summer.
Newcastle are also interested in Camara, but the prospect of playing Champions League football could make him favour a move to Liverpool.
