According to reports, both Manchester City and Real Madrid are interested in signing 25-year-old Paris Saint Germain wide man Achraf Hakimi. Hakimi has established himself as one of the best right-backs in the game and is considered a quality acquisition for both clubs. The two clubs are keen on signing him as he wants to depart from Paris Saint-Germain.

Manchester City is in search of a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker, and Hakimi is seen as a sensational acquisition. His outstanding attacking skills and versatility to operate as a wing-back make him an ideal fit for City’s attacking style of football. The club also has the financial resources to secure the deal and has previously shown interest in other right-backs including Pedro Porro.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is in need of a successor to Dani Carvajal, and re-signing Hakimi could prove to be a wise decision. It remains to be seen if Hakimi has unfinished business at the Spanish club and is keen on a return. As the 25-year-old wide man is entering his peak years, he is looking to compete at the highest level and win major trophies, making Manchester City and Real Madrid attractive options for him.

While it is uncertain if the two clubs will come forward with concrete proposals to sign him at the end of the season, Manchester City and Real Madrid might have to present lucrative offers to tempt PSG, as the club is not obligated to sell their key players. In addition, they will also need to convince the player to push for a move. However, Hakimi reportedly wants to leave PSG. The opportunity to play in the Premier League and La Liga could be tempting for Hakimi, and joining two of the biggest clubs in the world will certainly be an attractive prospect for the 25-year-old defender.
