Dortmund 'will try' to convince Madrid to let them have Hakimi for another season

Borussia Dortmund want to keep on-loan Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi for another season, according to sporting director Michael Zorc.

Zorc, speaking at a press conference before Dortmund's Bundesliga clash with Fortuna Dusseldorf this weekend, said they are keen to retain the right-back, who has impressed hugely during a two-year loan spell at Signal Iduna Park.

He said: "The contractual situation is clear, he will return to Real Madrid for the time being. We will still try to get him to play with us next season, but it is too early to discuss that now.
