Report: PSG Agree €70m Deal For Inter Star
26 June, 2021
Paris Saint-Germain look to be closing in on the second signing ahead of the 2020/21 campaign having reportedly agreed a €70 million (R1.2 billion) deal for an Inter Milan star.
Morocco international Achraf Hakimi has been associated with moves to both Chelsea and PSG in the last couple months, but it appears the French outfit have won the race for the fullback.
According to ESPN, PSG can pay the Nerazzurri up to €70 million for the 22-year-old, who's set to sign a five-year deal in the French capital.
Hakimi played a key role as Inter claimed their first Serie A title since the 2009/10 season, contributing with seven goals and 10 assists in 37 league appearances in the 2020/21 campaign.
With Les Parisiens having already secured Georginio Wijnaldum's signature after the Dutchman left Liverpool, it really is believed the Moroccan fullback was a priority target for PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino and sporting director Leonardo entering the new campaign.
It really is further claimed that Hakimi had already agreed personal conditions with the Ligue 1 side greater than a month ago, and that the player himself has been pushing for the move.
Should the deal goal through, Hakimi can be the second priciest fullback ever sold, behind the €80 million (R1.3 billion) Bayern Munich splashed from France star Lucas Hernandez in 2019.
