PSG daily: Hakimi needs cover, Chevalier v Donnarumma debate | OneFootball

This Thursday, July 30, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain's Achraf Hakimi (26-year-old right-back) who is preparing for another very intense season but without the recruitment of a "backup." There is also the possible arrival of Lucas Chevalier (23-year-old goalkeeper from LOSC and the French National Team) to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma (26 years old), as his contract extension seems to be stalled.

Hakimi has proven that he has extraordinary athletic abilities, and PSG can certainly hope to rely on them. After having a season from the Olympics to the Club World Cup over almost a full year, the Moroccan must this time hold out until the World Cup, passing through the Africa Cup of Nations at the beginning of 2026. It is feasible, and the staff will once again know how to manage it.

It should be kept in mind that Hakimi is not a "classic" full-back and that finding a backup can be difficult. It's almost more about midfielders. Like Warren Zaïre-Emery, João Neves, or Senny Mayulu. Solutions that can satisfy coach Luis Enrique. The squad should still be strengthened this summer, with a precise plan. The coach and the management have probably earned a certain level of trust.

As for Chevalier and Donnarumma, it seems likely that the former will arrive while the latter is expected to leave. But nothing is confirmed yet, the sports newspaper highlights in its article that everything can still change. Let's wait, therefore, to have certainties.
