Well folks, it looks like Achraf Hakimi is drawing closer to joining PSG as this saga looks set to end soon.
It’s been very back and forth this one, with Chelsea looking the closest team to getting the deal done last week, but now PSG swiftly taking the lead in this race.
What actually happened with Chelsea and the race for Hakimi, all is fully detailed and explained here on my personal site.
Of course, nothing is over yet and no offer has actually been agreed by Inter for Hakimi, as per Gianluca Di Marzio.
Also, he names Chelsea right back Davide Zappacosta as a player Inter are looking at to replace Hakimi, which does make me wonder whether Chelsea DO come in with a very late offer that would include Zappacosta to tempt Inter to accepting their offer.
Who knows, I’m just thinking out load, and besides, it does seem like Hakimi prefers to the move to PSG anyway. I just know never to conclude these stories until you see the player holding the shirt of his new club, anything can happen!
