I wrote in my previous article that Hakimi to Inter deal is almost done. He had travelled to Milan for the medical on Tuesday.
Real Madrid has now made it official. They have published a statement on their official website. It read: “Real Madrid C. F. and Inter Milan have reached an agreement over the transfer of Achraf Hakimi.”
“The club wishes to thank Achraf for his many years of dedication, professionalism and exemplary conduct since he joined our academy in 2006 and wishes him all the very best in this new chapter.”
Official Announcement: Achraf. #RealMadrid

According to many reports, Inter are paying Real Madrid in the region of €40m for the Moroccan international.
The Real Madrid academy product was on loan at Borussia Dortmund for the last two seasons. Hakimi has made 45 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund this season, scoring 9 goals and providing 10 assists to help the team finish second in the Bundesliga. He has become a world-class right-wing-back at Dortmund.

Achraf Hakimi has already written an emotional farewell letter to the Dortmund fans. Even though Achraf Hakimi has joined the Inter Milan squad, the Moroccan star will be eligible to play for Antonio Conte only from the next season.
Hakimi was asking for the assurance of a permanent first-team role if he returned to the Bernabeu. But Zidane has trusted Dani Carvajal with the right-back role instead of Hakimi. He would have played just like Mendy plays alternately with Marcelo.
The Moroccan was not convinced with the idea and opted for a permanent transfer. His personal choice was Antonio Conte’s Inter and Real Madrid has valued his choice.
Hakimi has been used in the wings by Dortmund. Conte also plays in the same formation with three centre-backs along with two full-backs who work as wingers. This tactic will suit Hakimi very well so this transfer move is turning out to be good for all the sides involved.
