Chelsea are believed to be PSG’s main rival for Hakimi, with manager Thomas Tuchel reportedly keen on strengthening his options out wide.

The 22-year-old’s price tag, though, could prove prohibitive with it being claimed in the Italian press that Inter won’t let the player leave for less than €80m (£69m).

Were Hakimi to move to Paris, though, it could have a knock-on effect on Chelsea’s other transfer plans. As well as missing out on the Moroccan, it may also mean that Inter would be more reluctant to sell Romelu Lukaku, as they have already raised money to balance the books by offloading another player.
