Achraf Hakimi will finish the Bundesliga and return to Real Madrid. The Moroccan winger has been on loan for two seasons at Borussia Dortmund and the loan has paid off. 70 games, 12 goals and 17 assists from the yellow lanes show an evolution in all aspects. Now, it's time to discuss his role at Real Madrid and see if he convinces both parties.
“I cannot lie, of course I would like to succeed in Madrid, it is my home. But if it is not, I will try to succeed elsewhere, “he assured AS several months ago. The young winger does not want to stop playing and will have to assess with Zinedine Zidane, who he has convinced since he was in Castilla, that can add as much as Dani Carvajal. The Moroccan is called to be the relay of the Madrid but will have to see how and if he finally arrives.
Although it is not the priority for either the club or the player, Achraf could opt for the exit and, if so, Borussia Dortmund wants to sign a full contract with him. Michael Zorc, yellow sports director, warned. “The situation is clear. Achraf returns to Spain in the summer. However, we are interested in him continuing the next campaign with us,” says the manager. Statements that confirm what AS published on April 14. Zorc is aware that Achraf would be a beneficial operation: he is comfortable, he is important and also, he is a young player who can continue multiplying his value for a possible sale.
With Favre on the bench, Achraf is key in the defense of five, in which he has the freedom to join the attack. Thus, the winger faces his best season on the offensive pitch with nine goals and ten assists in his locker. The numbers and his performances endorse him and his future promises. Now, he has to find his place and prefers it to be Madrid, but Dortmund is still attentive.
