Inter Milan Determined to Keep Star Defender Achraf Hakimi Amid Transfer Speculation

Arrived last summer thanks to an agreement with Real for 40 million euros, the Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi (26 matches, 6 goals and 5 assists), will he still be at Inter Milan next season? For now, nothing is clear. It is the player himself who declared that he feels happy with the Italian club. The proof, we note a complicity between him and his coach Antonio Conte who trusts him. Thousands of supporters speak well of him and especially of his talent. Certainly a rare gem. According to the player, his greatest wish was to play for Inter Milan. So when the opportunity was offered to him, he did not hesitate to seize his chance. It is also rightly that he is a cornerstone of the Nerazzurri. After a remarkable stint at Borussia Dortmund, the 21-year-old Moroccan right-back commands the admiration of several clubs both in the Premier League and elsewhere. Manchester City as well as Arsenal and Manchester United not to mention Chelsea, are closely following him.

But the management of his club informed a few weeks ago that it is not ready to let go of such a jewel. Under contract with the Italian club until 2025, will he himself decide to break it? For the moment it is impossible to say since the Moroccan international feels very happy with Inter Milan. "Two or three years ago, Piero Ausilio had already talked to us about the opportunity to bring him to Milan. After his stint at Borussia Dortmund, this interest was renewed and Hakimi decided to come to Inter," he added, stating that he is very happy to play for such an important club. "I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I say today that Hakimi is happy and that his team is Inter".

"The goal is to win the Scudetto. After that, Inter’s situation at the club level is complicated, but I repeat: we are very happy here in terms of football," he hinted.
