He is angry and that's normal, he can't take it anymore.'
It comes following reports the dressing room has divided into two distinct cliques following their recent run of poor results.
The Ligue 1 giants have endured a difficult month which has seen their season all-but collapse following their shock elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid.
According to RMC Sport, two camps have materialised inside the squad - one including all South American stars and another including those that speak French.
Quotes attributed to someone close to the squad suggested that the tension between the two factions 'blew up a bit' as a result of their chastening defeat against Monaco.
The 23-year-old wing-back put pen to paper on a five-year deal in the French capital after joining in a £60million deal from Inter Milan in July 2021.
But Hakimi has failed to replicate last season's form - in which he netted seven goals and recorded 11 assists - and has therefore come in for criticism for scoring just three goals and four assists in 32 appearances.
And speaking to the After Foot show on French outlet RMC, journalist Daniel Riolo has claimed the Morocco international is tired of life at the Parc des Princes and does not interact with any of the club's South American stars, including Lionel Messi and Neymar.
'Hakimi is going crazy, the South Americans don't talk to him anymore,' he said.
'He already wants to leave Paris, he is fed up. In this team his qualities have never exploded, so maybe you have to give him up.
'I criticised Hakimi for his fluctuating form, but it must be said that in this team he struggles to express his qualities. Hakimi is going crazy, the South Americans don't talk to him anymore,' he said.

According to the report, not one player attempted to start an inquisition into the heavy defeat at the Stade Louis II, with silence prevailing in the changing room and on the trip back to the French capital.
One issue picked up on to illustrate the lack of unity within the squad was the difference in attitude shown by players when certain individuals are fouled on the pitch.
The difference on Sunday between the reaction of team-mates when Neymar was fouled - an action that resulted in several players surrounding the officials - compared to when, for example, Hakimi was fouled, was notable.
PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe also fuelled further speculation regarding his future after footage has been leaked of him confessing he's 'fed up' to Paul Pogba as he arrived for France international duty.
