Inter Milan Thrives with Dumfries, Outshining Former Star Hakimi

Achraf Hakimi is definitively a thing of the past for Inter Milan. A year after his departure for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the Italian club barely remembers him, so much better his replacement, Denzel Dumfries, is doing than him.

Achraf Hakimi had become an essential piece of Inter Milan’s system and his departure for PSG was painful for the Italian club. But today, the Moroccan international is no longer missed by anyone in Milan. "Who is Hakimi? He is not missed by the team," said his replacement in the Italian club, Denzel Dumfries, to Gazzetta dello Sport.

In Italy, it is even estimated that the 26-year-old Dutchman is doing better than Achraf, reports AS, specifying that Dumfries currently has five goals and five assists in Serie A, a commendable performance when we know that Achraf has three goals and six assists in Ligue 1 for the same number of matches.

"Dumfries runs, pushes, defends, scores and fights. All the time. The Milanese have not known a Dutchman as prolific since the days of Dennis Bergkamp and Wim Jonk, 28 years ago," it is assured. Dumfries cost Inter Milan around 15 million euros, while the club received 60 million euros for the transfer of Hakimi to PSG, a profit of around 45 million for the club.

Achraf Hakimi’s contract with PSG runs until 2026, but he could say goodbye to the French club sooner than expected. With the possible departure of his friend and teammate, Kylian Mbappé, and his almost non-existent relations with the South American players of the club, the Moroccan international would also be thinking of leaving.
