Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has remained tight lipped when quizzed on Achraf Hakimi during his press conference ahead of Los Blancos’ match with Getafe tomorrow night.
Hakimi is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Inter after passing his medical and signing a contract with Inter yesterday but former French national team midfielder Zidane refused to give anything away when he spoke to the media.
“He is one of our players now, but anything can happen. He had a good season this year at Borussia Dortmund,” Zidane began the press conference which took place earlier on today.
“Things could change soon, but now my focus is on tomorrow’s game. I’m not saying I’m not interested in Achraf’s situation, but it’s an issue for the club to deal with.
“What did I say to Achraf? There is no answer. There is the club, there is the player and there is the coach. All three of these aspects are important when there are things that need to be decided.”
Inter and Real Madrid have agreed a deal worth €45 million including bonuses for the 21-year-old Moroccan national team full back and it is now only a matter of time until he is officially announced as an Inter player.
This past season whilst with Borussia Dortmund, Hakimi made 45 appearances across all competitions to date. During his time on the park, he scored nine goals and provided 10 assists for his teammates at the German giants.
