GOAL reported on 1 November that speculation had grown over Achraf Hakimi's future as Real Madrid searched for answers at right-back. GOAL reported that Hakimi's future had become a hot topic in France.
French reports on the contract
GOAL reported that reports from France said Hakimi had turned down the chance to extend his Paris Saint-Germain contract beyond 2029.
Matrone's comments to Defensa Central
Italian journalist and sports commentator Pierpaolo Matrone told Defensa Central that "Hakimi's camp has cooled Paris Saint-Germain's enthusiasm regarding the renewal, as they believe there is still enough time to deal with this matter, especially since the player's last contract renewal took place only two years ago".
Matrone also told Defensa Central: "This cautious stance inevitably leaves some questions unanswered about the future. Real Madrid is monitoring the situation from afar. Hakimi, who came through the ranks of the Spanish club, has never hidden his desire to wear the white shirt again one day".
Defensa Central's view
GOAL reported that all of this remained hypothetical according to Defensa Central.
The website concluded: "The coming months will reveal whether the matter is worth following as a serious case, or whether it will remain mere rumours and speculation."
