Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi has dampened long-standing speculation regarding a return to Real Madrid by expressing his desire for a lengthy stay at Paris Saint-Germain following his 200th appearance.
Achraf Hakimi has reaffirmed his commitment to Paris Saint-Germain, ending hopes of a sentimental return to Real Madrid.
The right-back, who was pivotal in PSG’s recent Champions League success, spoke out following a 3-1 victory over Toulouse.
Despite Madridistas viewing him as the ideal successor to Dani Carvajal, Hakimi stated: “I hope to continue at PSG for long time and many other games!”
The declaration marks a significant shift as transfer rumors surrounding the former academy graduate begin to fade.
Hakimi has evolved into a cornerstone of the Parisian project since his 2020 departure from the Bernabeu.
While Real Madrid recently bolstered their defense with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi remains settled in France, noting via Fabrizio Romano that he intends to remain a fixture in the lineup.
