In recent months, various rumors pointed to a possible return of Achraf Hakimi to Real Madrid. The proximity between the Moroccan full-back and Kylian Mbappé fueled speculation that the white club could consider his return as a gesture towards the French star, who remains a top priority for Florentino Pérez. However, the scenario is clear: Madrid is not considering the signing of Hakimi.
Achraf, currently a key figure at Paris Saint-Germain, is close to renewing his contract with the Parisian club until 2029. His performance under the guidance of Luis Enrique has been outstanding, with numbers that demonstrate his growth as an attacking full-back: 3 goals and 7 assists in 21 games this season. Although the player has a special affection for Real Madrid, the club has shown no interest in bringing him back.
Hakimi is not going to leave PSG, there is another more interesting target
From the Madrid board, they consider that their decision to sell Hakimi to Inter at the time was correct. DefensaCentral ensures that despite his evident talent, Real Madrid prefers to bet on a profile they consider more suitable for their style of play, like Trent Alexander-Arnold. The English full-back, who ends his contract with Liverpool in 2024, is the absolute priority of the club, which plans to finalize his signing in January.
Although Mbappé would have welcomed teaming up again with his friend, the forward never conditioned his arrival at Madrid on Hakimi's. At Real Madrid, they are clear: they do not negotiate with PSG and are convinced that Alexander-Arnold will be the ideal solution to strengthen the right flank.
