A bid of £60million will be enough for Chelsea to land top target, Paris Saint-Germain wing-back Achraf Hakimi, according to a report.



Hakimi has become one of the world’s best wing-backs over the past few seasons. Indeed, he’s been impactful at each of his last three clubs. 
 The final season of his loan with Borussia Dortmund, 2019/20, saw him directly involved in 15 league goals, as well as four in the Champions League. That led to a move to Inter Milan, where he scored seven goals and provided 10 assists in the league in one season. That was enough to gain him an immediate move to PSG, for in the region of £60million. In 77 games for the Ligue 1 side so far, he’s scored eight goals and provided 11 assists. It’s little surprise, then, that he’s being courted yet again. Indeed, Chelsea and Manchester United are
reportedly both keen on the Morocco international.
There are indications that the former may shortly name Mauricio Pochettino as manager. One of the reasons Chelsea are so interested in him is the fact that the Argentine managed Hakimi at PSG.
According to a recent TEAMtalk report, PSG will let the wingback to leave "if they receive a suitable offer." As part of a new approach, they would consider bids for only a select few great players, including Hakimi.
Chelsea learns the asking price of Hakimi
An update, which included details on what PSG would take in exchange for Hakimi, has since confirmed their choice to permit him to depart.
According to Football Insider, the Ligue 1 club has "put a £50–60 million price tag" on the wing-back. 

The report adds PSG feel that to be ‘reasonable’ taking into account the £60million they paid for him. That he’s continued his stellar form since his move and is under contract until 2026 means that is certainly true.

What’s more, the report suggests the club will ‘stand firm’ in their valuation due to the length of Hakimi’s deal. Should they not receive a suitable offer, it’s not as if his value will suddenly dwindle.

Hakimi snare simple task for Chelsea

Given the financial might the Blues possess, snaring Hakimi should not be hard. While Man Utd might be in the mix, they’re likely to prioritise a striker signing, so won’t have their full attention on the deal.

Chelsea might be in the clear if that’s to happen, and things could fall into place for them even more soon.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past.

Journalist Simon Phillips has suggested that Chelsea fans are losing their patience with £250k-a-week star.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea supporters are "losing their patience" with Joao Felix, according to GIVEMESPORT. When he first joined the team, the 23-year-old appeared to be an exciting signing, but he is having trouble scoring goals. Joao Felix: Chelsea news Felix, who reportedly makes £250,000 per week at Chelsea, transferred there on loan from Atletico Madrid of Spain during the January transfer window. It's been a difficult period for the Portuguese international, with the Blues not playing a system which suits the role he's predominantly played in his career. As per Transfermarkt, Felix has mostly played as a second striker during his time at Benfica and Atletico, but he's mainly been used off the left-hand side at Chelsea. Despite his difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge, it appears that both Felix and Chelsea want to continue together beyond this season.
