It would be one of the big hits of the summer transfer window. Achraf Hakimi, one of the most courted sides in Europe, is a little closer to Inter Milan. Interviewed by Sky Italia this Sunday evening, Giuseppe Marotta, the general manager of the Lombard club, announced that he was “at an advanced stage of negotiations” for the signing of the 21-year-old Moroccan.
“The aim of the club and the Zhang family (owner of Inter) is to continue to invest and seize opportunities offered by the market. Our sports director Piero Ausilio is doing a great job. We have not yet concluded negotiations, but we are optimistic. Tomorrow (Monday) will be an important day. It is a very important operation, “he said.
Real expect 40 million euros
Trained and a professional past at Real Madrid, Hakimi has been on loan for the past two seasons at Borussia Dortmund, where he has established himself as one of the best players in his position. A formidable counterattacker, the right-back has scored nine goals and distilled ten assists this season in 45 games played in all competitions.
Dortmund announced on Saturday that it would not stay, its price having “increased further”. “We can’t (keep it),” said Borussia sports director Michael Zorc. According to the Spanish press, including the daily AS, Real Madrid should recover 40 million euros, excluding bonuses, by ceding it to Inter, where it has the qualities to flourish in the system in 3-5-2 dear to Antonio Conte. Bayern Munich have also tried their luck in this case, to no avail.
