While rumors suggested a possible return to Real Madrid, Achraf Hakimi will extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The Spanish press sees this as a betrayal on the part of the right-back, accused of having used his training club to negotiate his new lease.
Funny accusation against Achraf Hakimi in Spain. This Friday, the site of Real Madrid Confidential suspects the Paris Saint-Germain right-back of having used the White House to negotiate his new contract. It is true that the Moroccan international has been the subject of some rumors in recent months. Some of them mentioned a possible return of the Parisian to his training club. These rumors in the corridors were even reinforced after the signing of his best friend Kylian Mbappé with the Merengue.
Moreover, after the victory against Manchester City (4-2) on Wednesday in the Champions League, Achraf Hakimi had a little thought for the French scorer the same evening against RB Salzburg (5-1). “ I didn't see the Real Madrid match but I'm happy for him, he's my friend “, the former Inter Milan player told journalists in the mixed zone. Quite inexplicably, the Spanish press saw this as a call to the Madrid club, before noting that Achraf Hakimi was on the verge of extending his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
-Hakimi will extend
The information is not new, however. Last November, the right-back reached an agreement with his leaders to extend his commitment until 2029. The Ile-de-France management seems to be waiting for the right moment to make it official. If its extension surprises our Spanish colleagues, it is nevertheless not surprising given the new dimension taken by Achraf Hakimi. We are undoubtedly talking about the best Parisian this season. Which perhaps explains the disappointment on the Madrid side.
