PSG and Morocco must learn to live without Achraf Hakimi. Victim of a severely sprained left ankle against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, the Parisian right-back will be sidelined for several weeks. If its participation in CAN 2025 is very uncertain, the capital club is also wondering about the strategy to adopt to replace it.
This summer, the recruitment of an understudy was considered by the Ile-de-France leaders, who finally felt they had enough options. Three months later, the situation has clearly changed and Paris Saint-Germain has indeed decided to find a competitor during the next summer transfer window. And according to the media weekone track seems to be gaining momentum.
A €25 million lining for Achraf Hakimi?
This rumor, confirmed by ESPN, links the Rouge et Bleu to the man named Daniel Munoz. The Colombian international (29 years old) is currently under contract until 2028 with Crystal Palace, where he arrived from Genk in January 2024. Bought for 8 million euros by the English club, the defender is now worth 25 million euros, according to the specialist site
Transfermarkt.
A good deal in sight for the latest winners of the Champions League? Little known in France, the player is in any case very popular since Chelsea, Manchester City and FC Barcelona are also said to be on the lookout for this issue. At PSG, who will have to tinker with this position with Warren Zaire-Emery, it would not be too much. Even when Achraf Hakimi is fully recovered.
