Zinadine Zidane is reportedly keen to see Achraf Hakimi return to Real Madrid having been impressed with the Moroccan’s form on loan at Borrusia Dortmund.
Hakimi’s two-year loan deal with the German side expires at the end of the 2019-20 season and has established himself this season as one of the team’s form players, having struggled with injury in 2018-19.
And Zidane, according to Diario Sport, is said to be ‘happy’ with Hakimi and is unwilling to sanction a permanent switch away from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Zinedine Zidane is said to have been left impressed with the Moroccan full-back in Germany
Speaking over the weekend, Zidane said when asked about the Moroccan: ‘We’re happy because he’s scoring goals with his team.’
He is just 21 and has shown real potential, particularly on the big stage for Dortmund, thriving in the Champions League.
His versatility is likely to see him earn a role at the back for Real Madrid next season.
Hakimi can play at left back or right back and his return could spell bad news for one of Nacho or Alvaro Odriozola.
The Moroccan has six goals and five assists from 23 games this season having seen his value rocket after a successful loan move.
