Manchester United is better positioned than Chelsea to sign International defender Achraf Hakimi this summer, as both Premier League teams are ready to make a move for the 24-year-old player at the end of the season, according to Football Insider.
Paris Saint-Germain, Hakimi’s current club, has stated that they are open to bids for the Moroccan international as the club works towards an extensive reform this summer.
Football Insider sources revealed that Chelsea is considering a move for long-term target Hakimi this summer, “but the Red Devils have leapfrogged the London club in the race to sign Hakimi, with the Blues struggling to put together a financial package to sign the PSG star,” explained the same media.
Under the ownership of new owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea has spent more than £600 million over the past two transfer windows. Financial Fair Play will severely restrict Chelsea’s expenditure this summer unless they can sell a number of players to recover financially.
United, on the other hand, has a summer spending plan and is prepared to pay PSG’s £50–60 million asking price in order to acquire a new right-back this summer.
If forced to leave Paris this summer, Hakimi is supposedly open to going to the Premier League, though he would like to join a side that plays in the Champions League.
Achraf Hakimi is one of 11 players nominated for the “Marc-Vivien Foe” award for the best African player in the French football league this season, as PSG is on the verge of winning the championship for the second consecutive season.
