  • PSG has made a new offer of 45 million euros for Monaco's attacking midfielder Maghnes Akliouche, which Monaco has rejected but remains open to negotiations.
  • Liverpool has reached a preliminary agreement with Bradley Barcola, who is frustrated with his playing time at PSG and will not extend his contract.
  • Marseille is considering signing young goalkeeper Guillaume Restes as a potential replacement for Geronimo Rulli, who may leave the club.

Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly pursuing Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche with a new 45 million euro offer, though the club has rejected it. Monaco remains open to further negotiations for the 24-year-old French international, who has two years left on his contract.

Meanwhile, Bradley Barcola, a 23-year-old attacker, has reportedly agreed in principle to join Liverpool. Frustrated by a lack of playing time in crucial matches, Barcola is unwilling to extend his contract with PSG, which expires in 2028. PSG is open to his departure if the price is right and a replacement is secured, but neither condition has been met yet.

In Marseille, the club is preparing for the potential exit of goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, whose contract ends next year and who is attracting interest from Argentine clubs. As a contingency, Marseille has inquired about Toulouse's 21-year-old goalkeeper Guillaume Restes. Despite his youth, Restes has significant Ligue 1 experience and is a French youth international, though he faces potential competition from foreign clubs, including Aston Villa.
