Liverpool to beat Manchester United to the signature of a ‘speed demon’
Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in the ongoing summer transfer window.
Liverpool are monitoring the winger’s situation and are considering getting their hands on him this summer as part of their transfer plans.
Manchester United have long been keeping tabs on him, but according to the Stretty News, they are highly unlikely to sign him at this stage of the window.
Monaco are demanding somewhere around £50m and £55m before agreeing to sell him, and Manchester United cannot afford to spend such sums on Akliouche.
Liverpool now have a clear run at the Monaco winger, with Manchester United almost certain to sign him unless Monaco decide to drastically lower his price.
With Diaz sounding like wanting to leave Liverpool, Akliouche could emerge as a top target to replace him in the Liverpool squad next season.
The 23-year-old winger scored seven times and registered 12 assists in all competitions last season.
