The world of Paris Saint-Germain’s star full-back Achraf Hakimi was turned upside down as media reports stated that his wife, Hiba Abouk, had filed for divorce and demanded half of his property. However, in a surprising turn of events, Abouk was left stunned when she learned that Hakimi had nothing in his name. Despite the fact that the 24-year-old footballer is one of the highest-paid footballers, with a staggering net worth of $24 million, the majority of his assets were under his mother’s name. Owing to which, he does not have anything substantial of his total net worth in his name. This revelation left the 36-year-old Spanish actress in a state of shock. And this news then spread like wildfire around the world.

The Moroccan footballer’s shrewd move has been lauded by many, with ex-UFC fighter Francis Ngannou being the latest to join the list of people lauding the footballer. He seems mighty impressed by Hakimi’s business acumen, as he put out a response commending him for his foresight in protecting his assets.

Ngannou seemed really impressed by the 24-year-old footballer and had high praise for him, writing, “Master class ♟️ The one and only @AchrafHakimi 👌”.

It is clear that Achraf Hakimi has certainly left many stunned with this move. He started dating the Spanish actress when he was 19 and Abouk was 31. After 5 years of being together, his wife has now decided to part ways.
