Achraf Hakimi is set to join Inter Milan from Real Madrid for 50 million euros after spending two years on loan at Borussia Dortmund, Spanish newspapers AS and Marca reports.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old Moroccan was photographed arriving in Milan for a medical and also published a farewell letter to Dortmund on his Instagram account.<\/p>\n
The Moroccan will be expected to sign a five-year contract with Inter.<\/p>\n
Hakimi joined Real as a child since 2006 before making a professional debut in 2016 but his long-term prospects were limited by Dani Carvajal and the signing of Alvaro Odriozola in 2018.<\/p>\n
