Achraf Hakimi, Paris Saint-Germain’s 25-year-old right-back under contract until 2026, was fully revitalized last season under coach Luis Enrique. According to the latest rumours, this could lead to an extension, even if some media outlets had hinted at a departure. Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Tuesday that PSG are working on a new deal.

— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) September 23, 2024An entirely credible announcement, since this journalist is generally reliable and it makes sense that PSG would seek to keep such a player. Versatile, and coach Luis Enrique is making the most of it, Hakimi has rare athletic ability and genuine technical quality. He has also improved defensively. He’s now one of the world’s best in his field.
Now we’ll have to wait and see if an agreement can be reached. We can’t rule out the possibility that the Moroccan international may be thinking of other options for his career. Even if an extension is possible. For the moment, the mood is one of optimism.
