PSG are the favourites for Inter wing-back Achraf Hakimi and want to close the deal by Sunday, it’s reported, as Chelsea haven’t raised their offer.
According to Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia, Paris Saint-Germain are more determined to secure the Morocco international and fully intent on getting the move over the line by the end of this week.
The Nerazzurri have no intention of accepting a player as part of the exchange, so Chelsea’s bid of €60m plus Marcos Alonso is rejected.
Instead, PSG are set to increase their offer to €70m plus performance-related bonuses, which would be acceptable to the San Siro club.
Sportitalia are confident the 22-year-old also favours PSG rather than Chelsea for his next destination.
The right-back was signed from Real Madrid in September 2020 for €45m, after his two-season loan experience at Borussia Dortmund.
Hakimi helped Inter to the Serie A title, with seven goals and 10 assists in 37 league appearances.
