Real Madrid's Interest in Achraf Hakimi
After securing the services of Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid is now setting their sights on acquiring Moroccan international Achraf Hakimi on a free transfer to replace Spanish right-back Dani Carvajal in the next two years.
Carvajal's Contract Situation
Carvajal, whose contract with Real Madrid is set to expire in June 2025, has reportedly prompted the Spanish club's management to turn their attention towards the Atlas Lion, Achraf Hakimi, with the aim of recruiting him for free over the next couple of seasons.
Athletic's Report on Real Madrid's Plans
According to reports from the American media outlet, The Athletic, the Spanish giants are interested in bringing in Hakimi as a direct replacement for Carvajal, whose current deal at the Bernabeu is due to conclude in June 2025.
Hakimi's Current Form
The 25-year-old Hakimi has been in impressive form for Paris Saint-Germain this season, making 40 appearances across all competitions and contributing 5 goals and 7 assists.
Potential Benefits for Real Madrid
This potential move would allow Real Madrid to secure the services of the highly-rated Moroccan defender on a free transfer, potentially strengthening their defensive options while also allowing for a smooth transition as Carvajal's contract winds down.
