Real Madrid have made up their mind about the potential return of Achraf Hakimi. According to the daily AS, the Spanish giants will not hesitate to pull a dirty trick on Paris Saint-Germain to get their former player back.

With the departure of Kylian Mbappé, Achraf Hakimi is a player PSG are keen to tie down. Under contract until 2025, the Atlas Lion could return to the ranks of Real Madrid. However, the French club is keen to extend his contract, and does not intend to bow to pressure from Real, a club with which it has had conflicting relations for some time.

As a result, the management of the club from the Spanish capital already have an elaborate plan to snatch the Moroccan. The Merengues want to wait until 2026 to get him back for free. This would coincide with the end of Carvajal’s adventure on the right. Real are hoping to use all available means to persuade Achraf Hakimi not to extend his contract with PSG, who have been negotiating for several weeks to sign him.

For his part, Hakimi is keeping his hometown club in the back of his mind, especially with the arrival of his best friend Kylian Mbappé at Los Blancos. The former Inter Milan man has repeatedly expressed his desire to wear the white shirt again.

What’s more, Hakimi already knows the Madrid club well from his previous stint and won’t take long to settle in at the Santiago Bernabeu. At 25, he’s a good option for Los Blancos to consider.

Overall, Ancelotti should focus on bringing Hakimi back to Spain, as he could help Real Madrid win a number of major trophies over the next few years.

Hakimi enjoyed another impressive campaign in Paris recently, putting in a series of impressive performances on the right side of PSG’s back line. The Moroccan international scored five goals and provided seven assists in 40 appearances for the French side in all competitions last season.

Achraf Hakimi is one of the most expensive players in the world, with an estimated market value of 68 million euros, the highest for a right-back.
