Liverpool's summer transfer window is shaping up to be a busy one, with the club facing a second successive rebuild after a trophyless season. With key players like Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson leaving as free agents, and doubts over the future of Ibrahima Konate and goalkeeper Alisson Becker, the Reds are in need of a major overhaul. The priority area is undoubtedly the wing, with the emergence of Rio Ngumoha and the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich for £65.5 million. Now, with Salah's imminent departure, the focus shifts to finding a suitable replacement, with Steven Gerrard naming Michael Olise as his dream option. However, the deal looks unfeasible due to the high figures involved. Maghnes Akliouche, a 24-year-old winger, has emerged as a potential alternative target. Former Liverpool defender Djimi Traore, now Monaco's academy manager, revealed that big clubs have been 'keeping an eye' on Akliouche, with Tottenham reportedly interested. Akliouche, valued at around £52 million, is seen as a typical profile of the players signed by Liverpool's FSG owners before last summer. European football expert Andy Brassell highlights Akliouche's impressive form and potential as a right-sided lefty with good current form and huge upside, making him a very Liverpool signing. However, he warns that a positive World Cup performance could make the deal more challenging, as Akliouche is likely to be included in France's squad. The competition for Akliouche's signature is fierce, with Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham also interested. Brassell emphasizes the importance of securing the deal before the World Cup, as Monaco might increase the price and there's competition from other clubs. In my opinion, Liverpool should act quickly to secure Akliouche's services, as he fits the profile of a player who can make a significant impact and develop into a key player for the club.
