Inter complete Hakimi signing from Real Madrid

Inter Milan have completed the signing of Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid for a reported €40 million (£36m).

The right-back, 21, has spent the last two seasons on loan at Borussia Dortmund and had intimated he did not want to be Dani Carvajal’s understudy at the Bernabeu.

Hakimi has penned a five-year deal at the Serie A side. The fee could rise to €45m with add-ons.

“The club wants to thank Achraf for all these years of dedication, professionalism and exemplary behaviour since he came to our academy in 2006 and wishes him good luck in his new phase,” Real said in a brief statement.

Since the arrival of Antonio Conte, Inter have spent big in a bid to reclaim their place at the top of Italian football, having not won Serie A since 2010.

Romelu Lukaku and Christian Eriksen are among the big-name arrivals in the last year, while Alexis Sanchez joined on loan from Manchester United.

Inter are third in Serie A, eight points adrift of leaders Juventus.
