Achraf Hakimi is not comfortable at PSG and wants to leave the club this summer, reports journalist Jorge Picon. He further adds that the Moroccan international would be ‘delighted’ to re-sign for Real Madrid even though it is seen as difficult at the moment.

A product of the Real Madrid youth academy, Hakimi never really got a proper run at the club. After featuring sparingly during the 2017/18 season, the 24-year-old spent two campaigns away on loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he was brilliant.

Soon after returning though, Real Madrid opted to cash in on him, selling him to Inter Milan in 2020. And only a year later, PSG splashed a big sum to secure his services.

Hakimi has made close to 80 appearances for the Ligue 1 champions and has been directly involved in 20 goals.

The right-back is understood to be not very comfortable at Parc des Princes and feels he has not felt the support of the club during some tough times for him recently.

As such, he would be open to leaving the club in the summer. And the idea of a possible return to Real Madrid seems to appeal to the defender.

Los Blancos are not looking at a new right-back as a priority for the summer, but reports have suggested that Carlo Ancelotti wants to reinforce both full-back positions or sign a player who can play on both right and left sides.

However, a move for Hakimi is unlikely to be on the agenda at Real Madrid for now. The 24-year-old has a contract with PSG until 2026 and given the broken relationship between the two clubs, negotiations seem impossible.

Beyond that, the Spanish capital giants are also looking to sign a new striker. And with Jude Bellingham also arriving, the club might have some reservations about spending heavily on a right-back as well this summer.

Real Madrid are back in action in La Liga tonight after the three-week international break as they take on Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Having lost their previous game against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid will be eager to get back to winning ways, especially with Barcelona on track to secure three more points and extending their lead at the top.

Ahead of kickoff at the Santiago Bernabeu later tonight, manager Jose Mourinho has announced the starting lineup that will take the field against Villarreal.

The big headline is that captain Federico Valverde is fit enough to start in midfield after having successfully recovered from the Grade 3 ankle sprain he had sustained during the derby defeat three weeks ago.

The Uruguayan international partners with Aurelien Tchouameni in the middle of the park, while Jude Bellingham continues as the attacking midfielder for the hosts.

Arda Guler and Vinicius Jr. slot in on the flanks, while Kylian Mbappe, having recovered from the minor injury he sustained during the international break, spearheads the attack.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alvaro Carreras get the nod as the two full-backs flanking the centre-back pairing of Ibrahima Konate and Antonio Rudiger. Thibaut Courtois guards the Real Madrid goal.
