Italian champions don't seem capable of hanging on to their best players

Paris, who have been on the lookout for a new right-back, are said to be in advanced negotiations with Inter's excellent defender Achraf Hakimi. A price of around $73 million has been set for the 22-year-old Morocco international, and moneybags Paris are willing to shell out that sort of money on the former Real Madrid player.

The flying full-back is keen on becoming a PSG player after the resignation of Inter boss Antonio Conte and uncertainty regarding the club's finances.

The Parisians have endured a poor season in which they could only finish second in the Ligue 1. Their two right-backs did not prove good enough for the manager Mauricio Pochettino and his staff. Italian international Alessandro Florenzi will return to AS Roma after his loan, while Colin Dagba and Thilo Kehrer proved too inconsistent for a club determined to win the Champions League.

The financial troubles of inter have already caused ripples in the market, with the managerial merry-go-round in full swing following Conte's departure. Looming player sales are likely to cause a craze, with many quality players seemingly available at cut prices.

Hakimi may be the first to leave the Rossoneri.
