Achraf Hakimi has extended his contract at PSG until 2029

Achraf Hakimi has officially extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) until 2029. This news comes amid ongoing speculation connecting the 26-year-old defender to a possible return to Real Madrid, his former club, confirming that he will be staying in the French capital for the foreseeable future.

Hakimi’s earlier contract was set to run out in 2026, but recent discussions have successfully added two more years, reinforcing his loyalty to PSG. In June, Mario Cortegana from The Athletic noted that Hakimi had come up through the youth ranks of Los Blancos, which adds an intriguing twist to the current transfer rumors.

Real Madrid had been monitoring Hakimi’s situation closely, given his favorable contract terms, which might have provided an opportunity for his return when his initial deal was set to end in 2026. However, according to Le Parisien, despite rumors linking him to a potential partnership with Kylian Mbappé at Madrid, Hakimi has promptly assured PSG’s management of his commitment.

As a result, his decision to sign a contract extension effectively concludes the transfer discussions that began with initial conversations back in March. This choice underscores Hakimi’s commitment to PSG and signifies a period of stability for both him and the club.

Since he joined PSG in 2021, Achraf Hakimi has made a remarkable 133 appearances across various competitions. During this time, he has demonstrated his talent by scoring 16 goals and providing 22 assists, highlighting not only his strong defensive skills but also his crucial involvement in offensive plays. His tenure at PSG has been marked by significant success, as he has helped the team secure three Ligue 1 titles, one Coupe de France trophy, and two Trophée des Champions, further enhancing his influence and legacy at the club during his four years in Paris.
