This is called a bromance, and no one, especially Achraf Hakimi, wants to see it break this summer. Since his arrival at Paris Saint-Germain, the Moroccan has forged a very strong bond with Kylian Mbappé, with whom he very quickly appeared to be an accomplice on and off the pitch. Problem: it’s no secret for absolutely anyone, the future of the “French genius” is currently being written in the form of a huge question mark, just a few weeks from the end of his contract at Paris Saint- Germain.
Asked by Téléfoot, in an interview broadcast this Sunday morning on TF1, the Parisian right-back expressed his wish to see his friend Mbappé stay with him a little on the Porte d’Auteuil side, and not join Real Madrid, the Hakimi’s training club. “It’s a pleasure to have him by my side. He is one of the best players in the world, but above all he is my friend, I want him to stay here for us to enjoy. Do I tell him? Of course he knows it. But above all, I wish him the best. He will decide what he thinks is best for his career, and I will support him. »
A few hours from Classico against Marseille, which will be played in a tense context between PSG supporters and the club, the players, Achraf Hakimi also measured the importance of a victory against the historic rival, who is also his dolphin in Ligue 1. “I know that there is a particular, different expectation. There is a lot of rivalry. I experienced it when I went to their house (He had also been sent off at the start of the second half.editor’s note), I will live it at home. This is a match that can practically decide the fate of the championship. Our supporters deserve this victory, and this tenth title of champion of France. The truth is that we’ve had a bit of a rotten few weeks. Them, of course, but so are we, because it’s not easy when your supporters don’t support you. Winning is the best thing we can do for them to cheer us on again. »
