An unhappy African star at Paris Saint-Germain has now reportedly expressed his desire to leave the French giants and join Real Madrid.
Les Parisiens have endured a mixed 2022/23 campaign, having once again failed to progress past the UEFA Champions League round of 16 for the second successive season.

Although they look set to clinch yet another Ligue 1 title in the coming weeks, their season has been plagued by controversy, with a number of their stars running into trouble through on-field issues or matters off the pitch.
Among those who have been unable to steer clear of drama is Achraf Hakimi, with French police having confirmed that rape charges had been brought against the fullback earlier this year.
The issue has seemingly coincided with a sharp dip in form from the Morocco star, who was also sent off during PSG's 5-0 win over Ajaccio on the weekend.
This saw yet further criticism being aimed at him, and has subsequently raised more uncertainty over his future at the club.
According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the 24-year-old has now made it his clear he wants to rejoin his boyhood club Real just two seasons into his stint at PSG.
It is said Hakimi does not feel suited to manager Christophe Galtier's way of football, while he is also uncomfortable in Paris due to his ongoing off-field issues, and now wants an exit from the French capital.
