Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 26-year-old right-back under contract until 2026, was fully revitalized last season under coach Luis Enrique. According to the latest rumors, this could lead to an extension, even if some media outlets had hinted at a departure. L’Equipe reports this Thursday that the player has signed his new contract at PSG.
“The 26-year-old Moroccan right-back extended his contract a few days ago with the reigning French champions for a further three seasons, until 2029.”
It would be surprising for the sports paper to be so randomly assertive, and this is an extension that has been mooted in the media for some time, so we can assume that it is indeed finally a done deal. However, it’s not yet official.
There’s always a need for caution as long as there’s no confirmation from the club’s player. We know that soccer can move fast and surprise. But there’s reason to hope that doubt will soon be dispelled.
This is excellent news, as PSG are protecting themselves against the departure of one of their key players, both in terms of performance and weight in the dressing room. Hakimi is making a name for himself in Paris, so let’s hope he continues to write good things here.
