Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi set for fresh competition as PSG target Porto’s Martim Fernandes

Paris Saint-Germain are preparing to bolster their defensive options, with Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi potentially set to face fresh competition at right-back.

According to reports from PSG Inside Actus, the French champions have identified FC Porto’s teenage talent Martim Fernandes as a key target in the upcoming transfer window.

Hakimi has been one of PSG’s most consistent performers this season but has lacked a natural understudy on the right flank.

Club officials are said to be keen on addressing that imbalance, especially with the demands of domestic and European football intensifying over the winter period.

Fernandes, who has already earned plaudits in Portugal for his maturity and defensive composure despite his age, is regarded as one of the most promising young full-backs in Europe. PSG’s recruitment team are closely monitoring his performances to determine how quickly he could adapt to Ligue 1 and whether he fits into the club’s long-term vision.

The interest in Fernandes reflects PSG’s broader winter strategy of combining immediate reinforcements with investments in youth. With injuries testing squad depth, the club is reportedly seeking at least one addition per position, and Fernandes stands out as a player who could provide both cover for Hakimi now and grow into a starter in the future.

Although no formal bid has been made, discussions are expected to intensify in the coming weeks as PSG weigh their options and Fernandes continues to feature prominently for Porto. For Hakimi, the potential arrival signals the club’s intent to maintain competition at every position as they chase silverware on multiple fronts this season.
