The Real Madrid youth product’s two-year loan deal at Dortmund pushed his value at an all-time high.
Dortmund were hesitant to let go of the talented full-back but in the end, Inter’s lump sum offer proved hard to turn down by Los Blancos.
According to reports from Germany, the ex-Dortmund right-back is now wanted by Bayern Munich’s next season manager Julian Nagelsmann.
The 33-year-old has identified Hakimi as one of his priority transfer targets as he would fit ideally into the German's attacking system, according to TZ Muenchen’s chief journalist Manuel Bonke.
Der #FCBayern bastelt für Trainer #Nagelsmann am Team für nächste Saison. Die Münchner haben #Hakimi von @Inter auf dem Zettel! Er würde als offensivstarker Außenverteidiger ideal ins Nagelsmann-System passen. Knackpunkt könnte die Ablöse sein. #FCBTransfersommer @kessler_philipp

Hakimi’s current market value lies upwards of €50m, but Inter will likely increase his asking price if they will want to sell him.
His contract with the Nerazzurri’s expires in June 2025.
Arsenal are also contenders for Hakimi’s signature as they view him as a replacement for Hector Bellerin.
Real Madrid have also been reportedly interested in luring their academy player back to the Spanish capital to reinforce the right wing - after Hakimi’s recent comments of Madrid once being his home.
