Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has announced a shift in their approach to business and player recruitment. Instead of focusing on star players like Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Sergio Ramos, the club has decided to prioritize building a long-term squad over individual brilliance. In this context, reports from Paris confirm that PSG has extended Achraf Hakimi’s contract until June 2029 (his previous contract was set to expire in 2026). The extension of the Moroccan player’s contract was an open secret, as both parties were eager to continue their collaboration. However, there had been minor speculation that Hakimi might wait until June 2026 to leave the club as a free agent. United could loan a PSG star come JanuaryAchraf has become the embodiment of PSG’s new project. Since joining in August 2021, he has been one of the team’s cornerstones. Under Luis Enrique’s management, he has taken on an even more significant role compared to his time under Christophe Galtier and Mauricio Pochettino. Despite rumors suggesting Hakimi might leave the Parc des Princes for free in about a year and a half, it is now clear that this will not happen. Luis Enrique has completely transformed the African player. While many believed Hakimi could only play as a winger in a three-center-back system, the former Real Madrid and Dortmund player has become a true all-rounder on the right flank, excelling in various tactical systems.Dembele: ’I want to invest in Africa’This season, Hakimi has played 13 matches across all competitions, scoring five goals. His contract renewal underscores PSG’s commitment to their new project, which emphasizes team strength over individual stardom. The right-back has also contributed with two goals and three assists this season, solidifying his role as one of the team’s key players. Following Hakimi’s renewal, PSG is now focusing on extending the contracts of other crucial players. The next in line could be Nuno Mendes, an essential figure for Luis Enrique, and Vitinha, with negotiations reportedly accelerating in recent days.LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 12Friday21:00: (1.52) Monaco (4.20) Brest (6.25)23:00: (1.35) PSG (5.30) Toulouse (8.00)Saturday19:00: (2.35) Lens (3.50) Olympique Marseille (3.15)21:00: (2.40) Saint-Etienne (3.50) Montpellier (3.05)23:00: (2.80) Reims (3.40) Olympique Lyon (2.50)Sunday17:00: (1.95) Lille (3.50) Rennes (3.90)19:00: (1.83) Auxerre (3.60) Angers (4.40)19:00: (1.90) Nantes (3.50) Le Havre (4.60)22:45: (1.78) Nice (3.60) Strasbourg (4.70)***odds are subject to change***
