Is Hakimi to PSG a big disappointment?
The Morocco right-back has departed Internazionale after just one season in Milan  Achraf Hakimis transfer to Paris Saint-Germain was one of the big talking point on this weeks African Football HQ podcast. Broadly, the Morocco full-backs switch to Ligue 1 has been celebrated. Hes going to be working with one of the finest managers in the game in Mauricio Pochettino, can be part of a remodelled defensive unit alongside Sergio Ramos and Gianluigi Donnarumma, and can help PSG bounce back from losing out on the Ligue 1 title last term. Sterling, Southgate & England making the most of their good Euro 2020 fortune  Messi could end GOAT debate forever with Copa America victory  Similarly, Hakimi can hope to make history at the French giants, as they seek to win their first ever Champions League title. They came close the season before last under Thomas Tuchel, but the clubs moneyed owners will surely hope thatwith Pochettino at the helm and another wave of recruitmentthey can finally conquer the continent in the coming seasons. Hakimi has the chance to become part of a truly history achievement. However, theres no getting away from the fact that his work in Milan feels somewhat incomplete, with the right-back only signing for Inter from Real Madrid a year ago. Of course, he won the Italian title with Interhelping the Nerazzurri end a decade-long wait without the title and knock Juventus off their perchand realised the potential he had shown during his early career with Real and Borussia Dortmund. The prospect of his union with Antonio Conte was tantalising, with the North African perfectly suited to the Italians preferred approach. At times, it was mesmerising, but sadly, it was all too brief. Considering how the landscape changed at Inter in the aftermath of their victorywith Conte soon departing following a dispute with the clubs owners and a proposed downsizing of his squadthis fine team will never be truly fulfilled. As well as Hakimis exit and Contes departure, Christian Eriksens collapse has deprived Inter of their finest playmaker, while experienced heads like Matteo Politano and Ashley Young have also departed. The Inter who take to the Champions League next season wont be the same side who conquered Serie A last term, and while Hakimi will surely go onto further great things, its a disappointment that well never truly see what might have emerged from his intoxicating partnership with Conte at Inter.
