Achraf Hakimi and PSG, this is a love story set to continue. Arriving in Paris in the summer of 2021 from Inter Milan, the Moroccan full-back will stay a little longer in the capital. According to information from L’Équipe that we are able to confirm, the Parisian club and its right back have agreed on a contract extension until 2029, i.e. three additional seasons.
At just 26 years old, Achraf Hakimi is now one of the oldest players in the Parisian squad. For his fourth season in the capital, he enjoys an ever more important role in the locker room and on the pitch. Luis Enrique’s frame in a forward right defender position, he has started 13 times this season (9 in Ligue 1 and 4 in the Champions League) for two goals.
Captain during the first day at Le Havre (1-4) when he was at one time thought to want to leave by regularly mentioning the idea of a return to Real Madrid, his training club, where he would have found his friend Kylian Mbappé, the Moroccan quickly reassured his leaders on the question of his future. Discussions on an extension initiated last March have finally come to fruition in recent days.
The next Parisian player to make a more lasting commitment should be, barring a turnaround, Nuno Mendes. There are still a few details to be ironed out but the Portuguese left-back’s contract extension is also on track.
