Al Hilal has entered the race for Achraf Hakimi with a reported €120 million offer to Paris Saint-Germain, according to Spanish media outlet Fichajes.
The proposed fee would make the deal one of the most expensive transfers for a defender in football history if it goes through. The final decision rests with PSG, which can either accept the Saudi club’s offer and begin formal negotiations or hold on to the Moroccan international.
Paris Saint-Germain’s position is strengthened by Hakimi’s contract renewal in February 2025, which keeps him at the Parc des Princes until June 2029. The club therefore faces no stated pressure to sell.
Hakimi joined PSG from Italy’s Inter Milan in the summer of 2021 and passed 200 official appearances for the French club in April. Last season, he played 18 Ligue 1 matches, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
