✍️ Three Realistic Right-Back Transfer Targets For PSG
Achraf Hakimi is the best right-back in football, but can Paris Saint-Germain survive another season with no suitable backup?
Paris Saint-Germain have grown accustomed to blockbuster transfer windows in recent years, splurging millions on promising youngsters as well as big-name veterans. This time, however, Les Parisiens have had an incredibly quiet transfer window. They’ve sold just one player—Milan Škriniar—to Fenerbahce, and loaned out three youth players in Naoufel El Hannach, Gabriel Moscardo, and Yoram Zague. What’s more, they’ve only signed one player—19-year-old Roma goalkeeper Renato Marin—on a free transfer.
After a sensational season that saw them win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title and another domestic treble, as well as reach the FIFA Club World Cup Final, it’s evident that PSG doesn’t have a great deal of transfer priorities. However, one position that could be a high priority is backup right back.
Last season, PSG played with just one right back: Achraf Hakimi. Arguably the best right back in world football, Hakimi racked up 11 goals and 16 assists in 55 appearances over the previous season, offering a constant source of attacking verve whilst also remaining defensively solid. Hakimi has missed just five matches to injury since joining in 2021, but he nevertheless finds himself in hot water with regard to the legal system.
Even if Hakimi avoids injuries and his lawyer gets the case against him dismissed, the 26-year-old will miss several matches midway through the 2025-26 campaign as he will join Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations. It’s why PSG needs to sign a right-back this summer…but who?
