It appears that Chelsea are about to miss out on Achraf Hakimi despite putting in a great shift to convince Inter to send the Moroccan to Stamford Bridge instead of Paris Saint-Germain.
Unfortunately, it appears the player’s desire to play for the Ligue 1 runners-up has trumped the Blues’ attempts, as RMC Sport are reporting Inter and the French side are now ‘closer’ regarding a move.
‘Negotiations are moving forward’ in order to find an agreement for the defender’s transfer, with Hakimi having already ‘given his agreement to Paris for a five-year contract’.
Regarding Chelsea in all this, they are said to ‘still be in the race’, but the Premier League side have now been ‘left behind’ by their Ligue 1 counterparts for the Inter defender.
