Paris Saint-Germain is seeking a new leader following Kylian Mbappé’s departure, with Achraf Hakimi poised to step into the role. 

Captain during PSG’s 4-1 victory over Le Havre, Hakimi is considered a strong candidate for a leadership position this season. 

According to L’Equipe, the Moroccan international is confident in his ability to become a central figure for PSG in the 2024-2025 season.

Hakimi, who joined PSG from Inter Milan in 2021, quickly became an integral part of the squad, establishing himself as a key starter

. The club is reportedly ready to promote him to vice-captain, with manager Luis Enrique keen to see him excel and face competition for his spot. Potential challengers for his role could include players like Ousmane Dembélé.

Hakimi is valued at approximately 68 million euros, making him one of the most expensive right-backs globally. Last season, he featured in 25 Ligue 1 matches, scoring 4 goals and assisting 5 times, and played 11 Champions League games, with 1 goal and 1 assist.
