According to rumors, Pep Guardiola has personally asked Manchester City to finalize a transfer for Achraf Hakimi of PSG.
This information was provided by MARCA via Sport Witness after it was suggested that the triple champions would be willing to pay a significant sum to acquire the PSG defender.
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, appears to be eager to find a successor for Kyle Walker in Achraf Hakimi and has no intention of wasting any time in doing so.
Achraf Hakimi has been requested by Pep Guardiola for Manchester City.
The Parc des Princes may be in for a rebuild, and the Moroccan captain might even be sold in a fire sale that sends Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.
The intrepid wing-back was labelled a “high level” player by Erling Haaland, who also played with Riyad Mahrez, and named him as one of the two best African players he has ever played with.
When it comes to wanting Achraf Hakimi to join Manchester City, Pep Guardiola appears to be in sync with the superstar player.
It’s interesting to note that it has been asserted that Kyle Walker is considering leaving since he is aware of City’s intention to capture the 24-year-old, who has been dubbed “elite” by Pain In The Arsenal.
Achraf Hakimi joining the Sky Blues is unlikely to happen.
Contrary to what was initially reported, Achraf Hakimi is regarded as one of the top right-backs in the world, but Manchester City are unlikely to sign him. Pep Guardiola may be to blame for this.
This is because Sam Lee, a journalist for The Athletic, had disclosed that the Spaniard intended to continue using his four-centre-back configuration from the previous season.
This insistence on using ball-playing defenders paid off for Guardiola and City in particular in Europe as well as in their treble victory.
It would be quite a shock and unlikely to give up that mentality after the success it has produced in order to sign such an attack-minded wing-back.
