Real Madrid considers Achraf Hakimi a viable option for the right-back position, a role that has been weakened due to Dani Carvajal's long-term injury. While their primary target remains Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi is viewed as an alternative, particularly if the English player opts to renew his contract with Liverpool. Hakimi's past association with Real Madrid and his relationship with Kylian Mbappe could ease his potential return to the Spanish club.

Achraf Hakimi was linked with a possible return to Real Madrid to replace Dani Carvajal. However, PSG has convinced him to stay by advancing negotiations for a contract extension, securing his role as a key player under coach Luis Enrique.

Achraf Hakimi has expressed an interest in returning to Real Madrid, according to reports by Eduardo Inda in Chiringuito de Jugones and OK Diario. Hakimi, who developed through the youth ranks at Real Madrid, reportedly desires a move back to Santiago Bernabéu to take over Dani Carvajal's position at right-back and reunite with Kylian Mbappé. Although Hakimi's contract with PSG is valid until the summer of 2026, he is said to be reconsidering his future due to discomfort in Paris and a strained relationship with the coaching staff, led by Luis Enrique Martínez.

Real Madrid is reportedly contemplating a move in the transfer market to find a replacement for Dani Carvajal, with PSG's Achraf Hakimi emerging as a potential candidate due to his previous association with the club. Nevertheless, this possibility appears unattainable both in the immediate future and even after his contract with PSG expires in June 2026. It has been indicated that negotiations for Hakimi's contract renewal with PSG are progressing well and are nearing a conclusion, which would see him remain with the club until June 2030, earning a net salary of approximately ten million euros per season.
