The twenty-one-year-old is already one of the best in his position and has an even brighter future. To add to this, he is highly versatile, able to play at left-back or even in attacking positions. He is a highly valuable asset and is rightfully sought after by many top clubs.<\/p>\n<h2>Major Chelsea Transfer Target, Achraf Hakimi, has Attracted the Interest of Juventus<\/h2>\n<h3>Chelsea Nowhere Near Completing the Signing<\/h3>\n<p>The youngster is on loan from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/real-madrid\/startseite\/verein\/418\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Real Madrid<\/a>. The Spanish giants were expected to recall him from his loan at the end of this season, to fill in for a declining <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/daniel-carvajal\/profil\/spieler\/138927\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dani Carvajal<\/a>. However, Chelsea have shown lots of interest in the Moroccan; they are the favourites to get his signature.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports from <span class=\"article-infos__author-name\">Andrea Distaso<\/span> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calciomercato.com\/news\/tutti-vogliono-hakimi-in-corsa-c-e-anche-la-juve-85609\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Calciomercato<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/juventus-turin\/startseite\/verein\/506\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Juventus<\/a> have entered the race to sign Hakimi. They claim that the injury troubles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/mattia-de-sciglio\/profil\/spieler\/88682\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mattia de Sciglio<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/danilo\/profil\/spieler\/145707\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Danilo<\/a> is the main factor leading the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/category\/serie-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Serie A<\/a> champions to target the signing of another right-back. Since the exit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/dani-alves\/profil\/spieler\/15951\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dani Alves<\/a>, the Bianconeri have failed to properly fill in this position; they even forced winger,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/juan-cuadrado\/profil\/spieler\/91970\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Juan Cuadrado<\/a>, to fill in. Juventus are in dire need of a new player in this position, so they will provide stiff competition for Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid are also keen to keep Hakimi, according to reports from Manu de Juan of <a href=\"https:\/\/as.com\/futbol\/2020\/03\/18\/primera\/1584487172_928586.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&amp;m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&amp;m3=MQ%3D%3D&amp;m4=dmlkZW8%3D&amp;m5=MjE%3D\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diario AS<\/a>. Jose Felix Diaz of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/futbol\/real-madrid\/2020\/01\/05\/5e11f5ffe2704eb2a78b460c.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marca<\/a> has reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.us\/fc-bayern-munchen\/startseite\/verein\/27\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bayern Munich<\/a> are also monitoring Hakimi. This just adds to the long list of European giants keen on collecting the Moroccan&#8217;s signature.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why Chelsea might find it tough to sign the youngster is that they cannot guarantee playing time. Reece James has already solidly secured Chelsea&#8217;s right-back position for the future. On the other hand, Juventus should have no problem giving Hakimi game time, as they desperately need him.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1178606514\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 71.71717% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea have been closely linked with Borussia Dortmund&#8216;s right-back, Achraf Hakimi.
