Join on Telegram Rabat – German football club Borussia Dortmund announced that its Moroccan international footballer Achraf Hakimi will remain playing in the Bundesliga for another season.
The director of the club Michael Zorc told the press that Achraf Hakimi “will not return to Real Madrid this summer; I can rule that out.” He said that the club spoke with Hakimi’s agent, adding, “I read what the players told the press, but he will stay at Dortmund, and we all know this.”
Earlier this month, Hakimi said that it “would be a dream” for him to return to Real Madrid.
Quoted by Vamos, the footballer said that “it would be a dream for me to return to Real Madrid as soon as possible. I would be lying if I said otherwise.”
Hakimi is now recovering from an injury he received during a football game against Wolfsburg in March.
The footballer, however, is expected to appear soon with the Atlas Lions in the 2019 African Cup of Nations (CAN).
The 20-year-old footballer has been making an important impact in the German league since joining Dortmund in the summer transfer window of 2018.
Achraf Hakimi joined Borussia in July 2018 on loan from Real Madrid.
Dortmund, however, hoped to secure a permanent contract with the Atlas Lion.
In February 2018, the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) ranked the Moroccan star among Europe’s 50 Most Promising Under-20 footballers. That December, Hakimi won a second Bundesliga Rookie of the Month Award.
