Real Madrid Faces Challenge to Reclaim Hakimi from Borussia Dortmund

In a statement to local media, the German club’s sporting director, Michael Zork, commented on the case of the young Moroccan, announcing that the player "will return with the team, there is no reason for him to leave us this summer. Hakimi wants to play the Africa Cup of Nations first."

Loaned by the Merengue club until 2020, Hakimi dreams of returning to the ranks of Madrid, but should abide by the terms of the contract with his current club, which oblige him to spend another season in Germany.

Starter in 28 matches, the Atlas Lion has been decisive this season with Lucien Fabre’s club, displaying very high-level performances. His great potential has seduced both the Dortmund management and Zinedine Zidane, who should resign himself for another season before thinking of reintegrating him into his squad, unless the two coaches reach an agreement.
