Now that Messi is leaving PSG, Al-Khelaïfi chose his favorite player and it's neither Leo nor Mbappe

Luis Campos, sports director of PSG, intends to put together a team around Kylian Mbappé so that he is the cornerstone of the Parisian project. This would include the games of some current figures such as Lionel Messi, Neymar or Marco Verratti. However, there is a footballer who would be President Al-Khelaïfi's favorite and would not leave the club under any circumstances.

Although 'Donatello' will be the great protagonist from next season, so much so that he will become the captain of the Parisian team, the journalist Santi Aouna announced that the PSG boss's favorite is another player who took a long time affection beyond his sports performance.

This is Achraf Hakimi. The Spanish full-back with Moroccan roots was trained at Real Madrid and then dazzled in his steps through Borussia Dortmund and Inter, until he finally joined the team from the French capital in 2021, in the same market that Messi himself and Sergio Ramos arrived. or Gigi Donnarumma. In a short time he not only earned the trust of the coaches, but also apparently the president.

Mbappé could reunite with Messi in Spain

Although PSG has a whole plan around Mbappé for the short and medium term, the British portal The Telegraph reported that Real Madrid is not giving up on the Frenchman and still sees Kylian as the ideal replacement for Karim Benzema. The surprising thing is that he would want him at the end of this season along with Jude Bellingham, the English midfielder for Dortmund with whom he would already have everything agreed.
