Napoli are interested in signing young Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi this summer, claims Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Serie A side want to sign a new right-back amid doubts over Elseid Hysaj’s future at the club.
Hysaj has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League and there are even suggestions he could follow departing boss Maurizio Sarri out of the club.
Napoli primarily see Hakimi as a back-up to Hysaj, but the Morocco international could even become their first choice right-back next season.
New Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti is aware of the 19-year-old from his time as Madrid boss and would like to prise him away from his former club.
The teenage defender made nine appearances in La Liga last season, finishing the campaign as Madrid’s fifth highest WhoScored rated player (7.34).
Not only that, but Hakimi averaged more dribbles per league game than any other team-mate last term (2.4).
