Achraf Hakimi Could Leave Paris Saint-Germain: Reece James as Potential Replacement

The right-back of Paris Saint-Germain, Achraf Hakimi, could be considering leaving the Parisian club next summer. According to French media reports, the team's management anticipates the departure of the Moroccan international and is considering replacing him with Chelsea's right-back, Reece James.

Hakimi could follow in the footsteps of his friend Kylian Mbappé and leave PSG during the upcoming transfer window. According to reports from the French press, the club is already thinking ahead and foresees the departure of the Moroccan player. According to "Football Transfers", Achraf Hakimi would not be opposed to returning to Madrid, where the right flank of the La Liga leader is occupied by Dani Carvajal (32 years old). Consequently, the management of the Parisian club is looking for a replacement, and it seems they have found Reece James.

The 24-year-old Englishman, who has been regularly injured in recent seasons and has had a modest season in terms of playing time, with only 9 appearances and 1 assist, could leave at the end of the season. Chelsea is trying to comply with financial fair play regulations after spending without restrictions in several transfer windows. However, the trigger for such an operation would be the departure of Achraf Hakimi, which is not yet confirmed. The Moroccan, under contract with PSG until 2026, could continue his adventure in Paris, especially if Real Madrid, busy with Kylian Mbappé and Alphonso Davies, does not make progress on the matter during the summer transfer window of 2024.
