Just earlier on Friday, we covered the latest from France on the Achraf Hakimi bidding war between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.
The Inter defender is expected to be sold by the Serie A side to balance the books this summer, and both the Blues and the Ligue 1 side are desperate to sign him.
While the Italian media were confident Chelsea were taking the lead, Le10 Sport replied with their information by stating Paris Saint-Germain were gaining an advantage, while the Premier League side were starting to understand they were fighting a losing battle.
This is echoed by RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi, who spoke to the radio channel, relayed by ParisFans.
He said that while Paris Saint-Germain could offer €70m, bonuses included, ‘Chelsea are ready to offer €80m’.
That being said, ‘Achraf Hakimi’s desire to go to Paris could tip the scales’ in the Ligue 1 runners-up’s favour.
Something to keep an eye on, because things are starting to get interesting.
