Hakimi will reportedly sign a five-year deal in Paris following a single season in Italy where he played a huge role in helping Inter to their first Serie A title since 2010.
He scored seven goals and assisted a further 10 in 37 league matches.
The 22-year-old only joined the Nerazzurri from Real Madrid in September last year after impressing on-loan at Borussia Dortmund over two seasons.
Hakimi, who is set to become the most expensive full-back in the world as a result, has showcased great versatility and can not only play at either end of a back four but as a wing-back and in midfield as well.
Chelsea were also interested in Hakimi, but have seemingly been out bid by the French club.
