This month, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Paris Saint-Germain and Achraf Hakimi are finalizing the last details of his contract extension, with agreement nearly reached on the contract length and salary.
Nonetheless, nothing is official in football until the pen is put to paper. As a result, it could be a surprise that some clubs are looking to lure the Moroccan standout away from the French capital, with Hakimi’s contract expiring in 2026.
In June, The Athletic’s Mario Cortegana reported that the Morocco international came through Los Blancos’ youth system. He also has a favorable contract situation that the La Liga side could exploit as his deal expires in 2026.
Nonetheless, the Spanish side might not be alone in pursuing the player whose transfer value sits at €60 million, per Transfermarkt.

Fichajes reports that Hakimi has crept onto Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Liverpool’s list of priorities for reinforcing their squads in the coming seasons.
Manchester City sees Hakimi as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker, whose contract expires in 2026 and might depart in the next summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid view the Moroccan as a strong option for right-back, especially after Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury left the position vulnerable.
Although Alexander-Arnold is Real Madrid’s top target, they’re open to alternatives if the Englishman extends his contract with Liverpool. The Reds are also eyeing Hakimi but will only pursue him if Alexander-Arnold chooses not to renew and leaves the club.
