Real Madrid have taken the unusual step of releasing a statement decrying the ‘outright false’ reports they want to repossess Achraf Hakimi from Inter.
The report was on the front page of the Corriere dello Sport this morning, suggesting the signed agreement between the clubs to delay the first €10m instalment was no longer valid.
Real Madrid have taken the unusual step of releasing a statement decrying the ‘outright false’ reports they want to repossess Achraf Hakimi from Inter.
The report was on the front page of the Corriere dello Sport this morning, suggesting the signed agreement between the clubs to delay the first €10m instalment was no longer valid.
The player’s agent denied there were any problems and now Real Madrid have released a formal statement.
“With regards to the information published by the Corriere dello Sport about alleged tension between our club and Inter Milan, Real Madrid CF wants to make clear that such reports are outright false.
“Real Madrid has not at any time required an alleged guarantee from Inter Milan, as stated in the publication.
“The terms of the player’s transfer to Inter are framed in the usual and normal contractual relationships between football clubs.
“That is especially true in this case with Inter Milan, with whom Real Madrid have always maintained and continues to maintain excellent relationships as a historic and friendly club.”
