Real Madrid Confidencial Achraf's agent points to Zidane and reveals why he left Madrid
Hakimi's agent speaks forcefully about the player's departure from Madrid and Zidane comes to the fore
Achraf Hakimi has established himself in recent years as one of the best right-backs in the world. Trained in Real Madrid's youth academy, the Moroccan player has experienced a meteoric rise since his departure from the white club. Today, he is a key piece at Paris Saint-Germain and recently scored a crucial goal in the Champions League final, where he opened the scoring for his team.
Amid the praise, his representative has offered new statements about the reasons that led Achraf to leave Santiago Bernabéu. "Zidane wanted him to always feel like just another Madridist," his agent stated, hinting that the French coach's intention wasn't to lose the footballer.
However, his departure was inevitable given the fierce competition in the first team and the player's need for continuity. This is completely coherent, since today, even with his injury, Carvajal is still one of the most important members of the club.
He left for a clear reason
The Moroccan full-back's agent explained that Achraf encountered a very high wall on his path to becoming a starter: Dani Carvajal. "Leaving Madrid had to do with Carvajal being there, who's been one of the best in the world in that position; that competition made Achraf improve."
This decision has ultimately led him to a team that, despite what was thought, fit him perfectly until he achieved the great goal against Inter. Nevertheless, many are left wondering what could've happened if he'd stayed with the Merengue team.
Despite the decision, the footballer's circle never saw the change as a step backward. "No one thought things would get worse for him after leaving the club. His mindset was focused on success." The agent's words are truly revealing, adding that Achraf himself was always clear that he wanted to succeed, whether inside or outside Madrid.
Sustained growth
Since his departure, Achraf has shined at Borussia Dortmund, at Inter Milan, and at PSG, where he's an undisputed starter. His offensive impact, his speed, and his defensive reliability have made him one of the most sought-after names.
