Career by season
Source: transfermarkt · fetched 2026-05-29
Hakimi arrives in 2026 as the leader of a Morocco side that has matured from 2022’s romantic underdog into a fancied dark horse. Mohamed Ouahbi’s setup positions him as a right-wing-back in a 3-4-3 when Morocco have the ball and as a right-back in a 4-4-2 when they don’t — a hybrid role that asks him to be both leading scorer from defence and the team’s most progressive carrier.
The 2022 semi-final against France remains the high-water mark of his international career; the gap between that result and a quarter-final ceiling in 2026 is small. Whether he again touches it depends on Morocco’s ability to keep him fresh for late knockouts after a long PSG season.
Strengths
- Overlapping speed and crossing on the right flank
- Long-range shooting from the half-space
- Set-piece delivery in attacking situations
