Real Madrid didn't bet on me - Hakimi

defender Achraf Hakimi claimed that when he joined

in 2020,

did not want to bet on him.

After a two-year loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, Hakimi finally joined Inter in 2020 for € 40 million, and the following year Paris Saint-Germain signed him for € 68 million. Hakimi will face his former team at Parc des Princes on Tuesday, claiming he has no negative feelings for Los Blancos.

"It is a nice game to play and as you know it is a team I have in my heart for everything they have given me. They made me as a person and as a player, and they made me learn. We are going to prepare very well for the match."

"It is true that when you join Madrid for the first time you come from playing for the Castilla and it is normal that the club does not bet on you so much because you are a young player. 

"But then when I left for Dortmund, I went on loan and had two great seasons and I had to come back and decide. And then Madrid, I think, were still not betting on me, although I was able to keep playing at a high level. 

"And then when I left for Inter after being transferred there was also a purchase option for Madrid and they didn't execute it either, so I think Madrid didn't want to bet as much on me as other clubs. And I'm happy because I think these clubs were not wrong to bet on me."
