Chelsea are looking to make a move for Real Madrid full-back Achraf Hakimi at the end of this season – as per reports.
Achraf Hakimi came up through the ranks at Real Madrid and he has been out on loan to Real Madrid since 2018 but is about to come back to Spain this summer.
The right-back has been a fine player for the German side over the past two seasons and there had been some rumours that the player could be signed permanently by BVB at the end of the season.
But now it has been made clear that Dortmund do not have a clause to make the loan deal permanent in the summer.
And it seems like Achraf Hakimi will not have a place at the Bernabeu as well since Madrid are planning to sell him off before the new season starts.
While a few clubs have been linked with a move for the full-back with the latest addition being Chelsea who reportedly want a long-term replacement for Azpilicueta.
Azpilicueta close to being 31 years old meaning he will be moving out of Stamford Bridge pretty soon and hence the Blues want to sign Achraf Hakimi before the Chelsea captain hangs up his boots.
But while Achraf Hakimi will most certainly be a fine addition to the roster but we are not sure if the 21-year-old would actually want to join the London outfit since the club already have a fine youngster in the form of Reece James.
If Hakimi was to join the Premier League side then it would mean that he will have to fight for his place in the first XI. And this is the last thing he would want to do after providing 10 assists in 25 Bundesliga games for BVB this season.
