Paris Saint-Germain would have made a strong decision for Achraf Hakimi’s offseason.
If Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola focus all the attention, the French internationals of Paris Saint-Germain will not be the only elements concerned by the Olympic Games. The situation of Achraf Hakimi also concerns Luis Enrique and his technical staff.
A few months after a disappointment that stuck in his throat (a missed penalty against South Africa leading to the elimination of Morocco in the African Cup of Nations), the right side defender has every intention of redeem with his country. And that could happen through the Olympics.
PSG makes a strong decision for Hakimi
In this context, Paris Saint-Germain’s decision is eagerly awaited. The clubs remain the decision-makers for the choice of releasing (or not) the players called to participate in the Paris Olympics. And according to information from L’Équipe, the capital club would be rather inclined to authorize the Moroccan international to represent Morocco.
A decision that would arise from several reasons. The first concerns Achraf Hakimi’s attachment to his selection, and the desire to streamline relations with the Moroccan with a view to his short-term future at PSG. The second is related to the calendar. Hakimi is not concerned by a continental tournament this summer, unlike his French teammates. “There is one thing, it is the desire of a player, explained Luis Enrique. And the other, very different, are the interests of the club, which pays the players. We will analyze each case individually and make the best decision for the club and the player. There must be a consensus”
