Reports indicate that Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi, the right-back for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), aims to depart from the French capital during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The anticipated departure of French star Kylian Mbappé from PSG next summer may mark a turning point in Hakimi’s journey with the Parisian club, given the strong relationship between the two players on and off the field.
According to French network “Sports Zone,” Hakimi seeks to leave PSG in the summer, with Real Madrid showing interest in signing a right-back.
The same source suggests that Manchester City has also included Hakimi in its list of potential signings for the upcoming summer transfer window, which may further motivate the player to seek a change of scenery.
“Hakimi could become one of the stars of the upcoming summer transfer market,” mentioned “Sport Zone,” considering that his contract with PSG extends until 2026, and he desires a change, making him a target for both Real Madrid and Manchester City, despite PSG’s efforts to extend his stay.
Hakimi’s former club, Real Madrid, remains among the frontrunners to secure his signature, especially with Spanish international Dani Carvajal aging at 32 years old, prompting the club’s management to contemplate a successor.
In recent years, Hakimi, dubbed “The Atlas Lion,” has established himself as one of the best players in his position globally. PSG acquired him in 2020 from Inter Milan for a hefty sum of €43 million, following his successful stint with the Italian club where he won the Serie A title.
