Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi has committed his future to the club, citing ambition, team spirit, and confidence in the project as key reasons for extending his contract. The Moroccan international, who has been a crucial figure in PSG’s setup since his arrival in 2021, expressed his belief in the club’s direction and his desire to achieve more success in Paris.
“Why I extended my contract at PSG? I think the first thing is the ambitious project we have here at the club,” he stated. PSG has been restructuring under coach Luis Enrique, with a fresh philosophy and a renewed focus on both domestic and European dominance. Hakimi, known for his attacking flair and defensive solidity, is excited to be part of this evolving era.
“First of all, I’d like to thank the President for his confidence and for all the work he does at the club, which is incredible. I’d also like to thank the coach, who has placed his trust in me both on and off the pitch,” he said.
Since Luis Enrique’s arrival, PSG has adopted a more balanced and structured playing style, which suits Hakimi’s skill set. The Moroccan feels at home in the new system and has embraced the role given to him under Enrique’s management.
“We’re one big family now, and we play for each other. I think that’s the most important thing, when everyone pulls in the same direction and works together. There’s a sense of pride, and that gives you even more confidence on the pitch.”
With key players like Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Vitinha, PSG has built a squad that is cohesive and unified, an element that Hakimi believes is vital for achieving success at the highest level.
“I’d also like to thank the fans for the support they give me and the whole team at every match and every moment. We still have a lot of big things to achieve together, and I’ll give everything for this shirt. I hope they’re as proud of me as I am of them! I hope to write a great story in Paris with them.”
With a new contract, a clear vision, and a determined squad, Hakimi remains fully committed to PSG’s mission. His ambition, along with the club’s strong foundation, signals that he is ready to leave a lasting legacy in Paris.
