Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has announced the extension of French midfielder Achraf Hakimi's contract, as well as his transfer to Inter Milan.
Hakimi joined PSG from Atalanta in 2019 for €45 million ($50 million), and he has become one of the club's most important players in recent years. He has scored four goals and provided three assists in 26 appearances this season, helping PSG to top their group in the UEFA Champions League.
In addition to his impressive performance on the pitch, Hakimi is also known for his professionalism off it. The 23-year-old has been praised by his teammates and coaches for his work ethic and commitment to the team.
However, Hakimi's future was uncertain after PSG were linked with a move to sign Manchester City winger Phil Foden earlier this year. But now, PSG have confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Inter Milan to sell Hakimi to Italy's Serie A champions.
The deal will see Hakimi join Inter for an undisclosed fee, which is expected to be in the region of €70 million ($80 million). Hakimi will likely compete with fellow attacking midfielders Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku for playing time at Inter, but he is expected to make an immediate impact given his talent and experience.
Overall, Hakimi's departure to Inter marks another significant step forward for PSG and highlights the club's ability to attract some of the best young talents in world football. With Hakimi in their ranks, PSG should continue to be a force to be reckoned with in Europe's top leagues.
