Real Madrid is reportedly considering Achraf Hakimi as a prime candidate for their right-back position, with Paris Saint-Germain setting his asking price at around 80 million euros. Hakimi, who has a contract with PSG extending until 2029, has become a key player under manager Luis Enrique.
Having spent 14 years at Real Madrid, Hakimi made only 17 first-team appearances before being sold to Inter Milan for €43 million in 2020. His impressive performances in Italy led to a transfer to PSG for €68 million, where he has continued to excel.
Hakimi has expressed openness to a return to Real Madrid, a club he left in search of more playing time. However, Real Madrid is currently hesitant to meet PSG’s €80 million valuation. The club is exploring options to strengthen their right-back position, particularly as they seek to replace the aging Dani Carvajal.
In addition to Hakimi, Real Madrid acquired Trent Alexander-Arnold last summer, but he has struggled with form and fitness, prompting the club to reassess their defensive strategy.
Real Madrid is reportedly waiting for suitable conditions to negotiate a deal for Hakimi, as they weigh their options in the transfer market. Observers are keenly watching how this situation develops, especially given Hakimi’s strong performances in Ligue 1.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact nature of negotiations or any potential offers that may be made in the near future.
