One of the most talented defenders in the country, Achraf Hakimi, will continue his career in Italy. Milan's "Inter" club officially confirmed that they have signed a long-term contract with the 21-year-old footballer. The Moroccan player, who has been playing on loan basis at Borussia Dortmund for the past two years, belonged to Real Madrid, but did not want to return to the club. It is reported that "Inter" paid 40 million euros for the promising right-back and included a possible bonus of 5 million euros. A. Hakimi came through the Real Madrid academy and played in the first team during the 2017-18 season. According to Spanish media reports, he refused to return to Madrid due to uncertainty about becoming a regular starter. In the "Inter" club, he will have both minutes and the opportunity to play in a role that suits him best - the so-called "wing-back" position, playing with three center-backs. Last season, A. Hakimi played 45 matches for Borussia, scored 9 goals, and made 10 assists.
