Chelsea, Man City make Achraf Hakimi enquiry?

Chelsea and Manchester City reportedly make contact with Real Madrid as they prepare to battle it out for the signature of Achraf Hakimi.

Chelsea and Manchester City have both reportedly made enquiries over the availability of Real Madrid's Achraf Hakimi.

The 21-year-old has continued to impress during his two-year loan spell with Borussia Dortmund, registering five goals and ten assists during the 2019-20 Bundesliga campaign.

The defender is supposedly set to return to the Spanish capital this summer, but a host of top sides across Europe have been linked with a swoop for Hakimi in recent weeks.

According to 90min, Dortmund are hopeful of striking a permanent deal for the right-back, but the German outfit will face a battle with several clubs for his signature.

Indeed, the report claims that Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham Hotspur have all made enquiries, while Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Inter Milan are also keeping a close eye on developments.

City are allegedly in the market for a new right-back ahead of the summer transfer window, with Barcelona duo Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto both linked with moves to the Etihad recently.
