Man City ‘will not hesitate’ to pay a huge fee to sign Achraf Hakimi from PSG
Manchester City are reportedly targeting Paris Saint Germain full-back, Achraf Hakimi.
After winning the treble in the 22/23 season, City boss Pep Guardiola is now looking to shape his squad to defend their titles next season.
In recent weeks, the future of Kyle Walker has been up in the air.
It has been reported that City are willing to let Walker go, with the likes of Aston Villa, Bayern Munich and Sheffield United interested in the England international.

As a result, City are likely to sign a new full-back if Walker does leave the club.
According to Spanish news outlet Marca, City want to sign PSG’s Hakimi and will not hesitate to pay a big transfer fee to secure the Moroccan’s signature.
Hakimi played a huge part in Morocco's sensational run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
In addition, Mundo Deportivo has claimed that Hakimi wants to leave the Parc des Princes.
The report states the environment and atmosphere surrounding PSG have led to Hakimi’s decision to seek a move away from the French capital.

Apart from Hakimi, City have been linked with the likes of Joskol Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic.
However, City are set to lose captain Ilkay Gundogan, who is expected to join Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona when his contract expires at the end of June.
After finally guiding City to their first Champions League title, Guardiola has fired a warning to 14-time winners Real Madrid.
He said: “Just 13 Champions Leagues away or behind them, just 13. So be careful Real Madrid because we are on our way.
“So if you slip a little bit, we will catch you.”
City will be the clear favourites for all four major trophies next season as they look to complete an unprecedented quadruple.
