Achraf Hakimi, the 25-year-old Moroccan international, has signaled his reluctance to extend his stay at the Parc des Princes beyond his current contract, which is set to conclude in two years.
While PSG’s leadership reportedly contemplates the prospect of renewing Hakimi’s contract, the player holds a divergent perspective. It appears that Achraf Hakimi is not envisioning a tenure at PSG beyond 2026.
This development poses a challenge for the club, emphasizing the importance of managing his potential departure strategically to ensure optimal financial returns.
With Hakimi’s contract nearing its conclusion, the upcoming summer transfer windows in 2024 or 2025 could emerge as pivotal periods for PSG to consider options for the Moroccan defender’s departure.
The player’s reluctance to extend his contract is allegedly influenced by the anticipated exit of his close friend and teammate, Kylian Mbappé.
The situation has not gone unnoticed by European football powerhouses, with Real Madrid and Manchester City reportedly expressing interest in acquiring Achraf Hakimi.
Real Madrid, as his former training club, may find negotiations relatively smoother, while Manchester City sees an opportunity to address the impending void left by Kyle Walker.
As PSG navigates the complexities of contract negotiations and player dynamics, the potential departure of Achraf Hakimi could not only reshape the defensive strategies of the Parisian club but also trigger a domino effect in the transfer market, particularly considering the speculated departure of Kylian Mbappé, whose destination remains a topic of intrigue.
