The Real Madrid full-back is thrilled to be turning minds but is uncertain where his future lies.
Achraf Hakimi said he’s flattered by interest from around Europe as the Real Madrid full-back seems to solve his future.
Hakimi signed a two-season loan agreement with Borussia Dortmund in 2018 and the Morocco global is set to return to Madrid at the end of the current campaign, which has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The 21-year-old’s future remains up in the air amid connections to Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Chelsea after his pops for Bundesliga outfit Dortmund.
Asked if he had been flattered by the attention, Hakimi told Cadena SER: “Who doesn’t enjoy it? I am proud of what I am doing.
“In June I will have to make a choice and it will be a fantastic step for my livelihood.
“I’ve not yet had contact with Madrid with this matter, but I imagine that shortly we’ll have some conversation to learn what is best for me.”
“I don’t understand when my contract finishes, that subject is taken by my agent,” Hakimi said when asked if his contract ends in Madrid. “It is the same contract that I signed in 2017.”
The Bundesliga and important European leagues, as well as Euro 2020 and the Copa America, are postponed involving the Covid-19 catastrophe.
May 9 could see the return of this Bundesliga as the likes of Bayern yield to training, albeit in small classes while following strict guidelines on hygiene and the space kept between gamers.
I’m glad it’s that date, however the earlier the better. However, we must be mindful about the situation we’re in.”
Hakimi, discussing Dortmund’s training measures, added: “I arrive at 10 and we start training at 10:30. I work with my group, with five or six individuals. We do not cross. We each work on our own. We do not make any contact.
“We combine a bit, gym, rondo or soccer-tennis. But with almost no touch.”
