Achraf Hakimi says he will return to Real Madrid at the end of this season if the Spanish capital club want him to.


The 21-year-old's two-year loan spell at Dortmund ends this summer, and it's still unclear how things will go on for him.

"Real Madrid are the club I call home. I've really enjoyed myself there and played lots of games there. If Madrid want me to go back, I'll go back. And if not, I'll have to write the next chapter at another great club," Hakimi told Telefoot, as cited by AS.

The Borussia Dortmund loanee also said that Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has played a huge role in his career so far.

"Zidane is the man who gave me my chance and the confidence to be able to play professional football. I'm grateful to him for his faith in me and the way he has treated me," the full-back said.

Hakimi has played 36 games for Dortmund this season, racking up seven goals and 10 assists.
