French prosecutors have formally called for Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco star Achraf Hakimi to stand trial over an alleged rape, stemming from a 2023 incident[5]. If found guilty, Hakimi could face a sentence of up to 15 years in prison[1][3][7]. The legal proceedings have escalated after a year-long investigation, with the case now awaiting a court decision on whether to proceed to trial[5].
On the football front, Hakimi remains a highly sought-after player. Real Madrid is reportedly monitoring his situation, as they are interested in signing him to bolster their right-back position. Paris Saint-Germain, however, is reluctant to sell and has priced any possible transfer at around €60 million. PSG may also consider including a player exchange to reduce the transfer fee[2]. Rumors persist that Hakimi is eager to rejoin Real Madrid in the 2025 summer window, but PSG hopes to keep him, as his contract runs until 2029[4][8].
In related news, Hakimi made headlines recently after publicly congratulating his Morocco teammate Adam Aznou on completing a move to Everton, showing strong camaraderie among Moroccan internationals[6].
