Liverpool are pushing to sign Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche in a deal worth £43 million, as several Premier League clubs look to strengthen their squads.
The Reds have identified Akliouche as a priority target this window, with the French club valuing the young attacker highly after another impressive season in Ligue 1.
Akliouche has developed into one of Monaco’s most important players, drawing interest from across Europe with his direct, attacking style of play.
Liverpool’s move for the 23-year-old signals their intent to add quality and depth in attacking areas as they look to build on their recent successes.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, ending a long-running transfer saga that has dominated headlines in recent weeks.
Garnacho had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford for some time, and Villa have now secured what looks to be a significant piece of business for the Midlands club.
The Argentine winger’s arrival at Villa Park would represent a major statement of ambition from Unai Emery’s side as they continue to push for honours both domestically and in Europe.
Manchester United will receive a substantial fee from the deal, with the funds expected to be reinvested into their own rebuilding efforts under their current leadership.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are understood to be pursuing Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes as they look to add further quality to their engine room ahead of next season.
Guimaraes has long been regarded as one of the Premier League’s finest midfielders, and Arsenal’s interest underlines how highly rated the Brazilian international remains across the division.
Newcastle will be determined to hold onto a player who has been central to their rise under Eddie Howe, making any potential deal extremely difficult to conclude.
The north London club have consistently targeted elite midfield talent in recent windows, and Guimaraes would represent one of the most high-profile signings of the summer if a move were to materialise.
With the transfer window in full swing, the coming days are expected to bring further developments across all three of these high-profile pursuits.
