Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has announced the signing of Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid for a fee believed to be in excess of €120 million ($144 million). The move comes after PSG failed to agree terms with Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr., two of their star players, over a new contract. Hakimi is one of the most talented young forwards in world football, having been part of the Real Madrid youth academy since he was just eight years old. He made his debut for the senior team at the age of 18, scoring three goals in 26 appearances across all competitions. The 20-year-old is known for his speed, dribbling ability, and finishing skills, which make him a real threat on both ends of the pitch. His arrival at PSG will add much-needed depth to their forward line, which struggled to find the back of the net last season. PSG's sporting director,Saudi Pro League Focus Leonardo, said: "Achraf Hakimi is a player who fits perfectly into our project. He is a very young talent with immense potential, and we believe that he can become a key player for us in the future." Hakimi himself expressed his excitement about joining PSG, saying: "I am thrilled to have joined Paris Saint-Germain, a club with a rich history and a strong identity. I am looking forward to working with the coaching staff and my teammates, and I am confident that we can achieve great things together." Overall, the signing of Achraf Hakimi by PSG is a major coup for the French giants, and it shows their commitment to rebuilding their squad following the departure of many key players during the summer transfer window. With the addition of Hakimi, PSG now have a formidable attacking force capable of challenging for the title once again next season. |
