Achraf Hakimi (Arabic: أشرف حكيمي; born 4 November 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a right wing-back for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Morocco national team. Born and raised in Madrid, he also has Spanish citizenship. Mainly a right wing-back or right-back, Hakimi can also play on the left or as a right winger. He is widely considered one of the best defenders [3][4][5] and one of the best right-backs in the world.[6][7][8][9]
Early life
Born in Madrid, Spain, to Moroccan parents, Hakimi joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2006 from Colonia Ofigevi, aged eight.[10][11]
Club career
Real Madrid
After progressing through La Fábrica, Hakimi was promoted to the reserves in June 2016.[12] Shortly after, he was included in the first-team's pre-season camp in the United States.[citation needed] Hakimi made his debut for Real Madrid in the first match of the 2016 International Champions Cup, a 3–1 loss against Paris Saint-Germain.[13] He subsequently returned to the B team, making his senior debut on 20 August 2016 by starting in a 3–2 Segunda División B home win against Real Sociedad B.[14]
Hakimi scored his first senior goal on 25 September 2016, netting the equaliser in a 1–1 draw at Fuenlabrada.[15] He contributed with 28 appearances during the season, as Castilla only managed an 11th-place finish.[citation needed] At the end of the season, he was still young enough to return to the youth team to take part in the final of the 2017 Copa del Rey Juvenil.[citation needed]
On 19 August 2017, Hakimi was promoted to the main squad as a backup to Dani Carvajal and Nacho, and was assigned the number 19 jersey.[16] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 1 October, starting in a 2–0 home win over Espanyol.[17] He scored his first La Liga goal on 9 December 2017 in a 5–0 win against Sevilla.[18] On 12 May 2018, he scored his second goal against Celta Vigo in a 6–0 win.[19] In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League, he made two appearances as Madrid won the title, their third consecutive and 13th overall.[20] Although not in the squad for the final of the competition, he received a medal and is credited as the first Moroccan player to win the Champions League.[21]
Loan to Borussia Dortmund
On 11 July 2018, Hakimi signed for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on a two-year loan deal.[22][23] He scored his first goal for the club in a 7–0 victory over 1. FC Nürnberg on 27 September 2018.[24] He provided three assists in a single match for the first time in his career against Atlético Madrid, in his first Champions League appearance for Dortmund.[25] Hakimi scored a brace against Slavia Prague in the group stage of the Champions League on 2 October 2019, his first goals in the competition.[26] On 5 November 2019, Hakimi scored another brace in the second half to turn a 2–0 defeat against Inter Milan to a 3–2 win at the Westfalenstadion.[27]
In February 2020, Hakimi set a Bundesliga speed record when he was clocked at 36.48 km/h (22.67 mph) in a match against Union Berlin, beating the old league record which he had set against RB Leipzig three months prior at 36.2 km/h (22.5 mph).[28] On 31 May 2020, Hakimi scored in the club's 6–1 away win over SC Paderborn. After scoring his goal, he removed his shirt to reveal a shirt with the message "Justice for George Floyd".[29] His teammate, Jadon Sancho, revealed a similar shirt after scoring as well.[30]
Inter Milan
On 2 July 2020, Hakimi signed for Serie A club Inter Milan on a five-year contract,[31] with a reported fee of around €40 million.[32] On 26 September 2020, Hakimi made his debut and provided an assist in a 4–3 win against Fiorentina in the Serie A.[33] He scored his first goal for the club in the subsequent league game against Benevento, which Inter won 5–2.[34]
Paris Saint-Germain
Hakimi signed for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on 6 July 2021 on a five year contract.[35] The transfer fee paid by PSG was reported by The Guardian to be an initial €60 million, potentially rising by €11 million in add-ons.[36] Hakimi made his Ligue 1 debut for PSG on 7 August 2021, playing the entire ninety minutes and scoring his first goal for the club against Troyes.[37]
International career
After representing Morocco at under-17 and under-20 levels,[38] Hakimi made his debut for the under-23s on 5 June 2016, in a 1–0 friendly win over Cameroon U23s.[39]
Hakimi made his full international debut on 11 October 2016, coming on as a substitute for Fouad Chafik in a 4–0 win against Canada.[40] He scored his first international goal on 1 September 2017, netting the fourth in a 6–0 home routing of Mali.[41]
In May 2018, he was named in Morocco's preliminary squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and on 4 June he was named in the final 23-man squad for the summer tournament.[42][43]
Style of play
On signing for Borussia Dortmund, Hakimi was profiled as a quick, dynamic and powerful full-back who is tactically and technically adept and capable of playing long accurate passes from defence. Trained as a winger, he can also play as a defender due to his physical presence.[44]
Personal life
Hakimi is married to Spanish actress Hiba Abouk; she is of Libyan and Tunisian descent.[45] The couple have a son, born in 2020.[45][46] A devout Muslim, Hakimi observes fast during the month of Ramadan.[45]
On 17 July 2021, Hakimi tested positive for COVID-19.[47] It was the second time he contracted the virus, having been tested positive in October 2020.[48]
