The deal was almost confirmed and well known across Europe days ago, only confirmation was needed and now it's confirmed and official as well.

A smart move in first place. BVB are one of the best teams for young players and so is Bundesliga, Achraf would develop a lot over two years course in Germany. With the arrival of Odriozola who is already far better than Achraf and more versatile as well, Achraf's position in the team was in jeopardy and his playing time would have been very limited as the third choice right back.

Right now Dortmund have Lukasz Piszchek (now 33 years old) for the right back position who is declining as per age. Dortmund needed his replacement and Achraf who is a good talent would be the right fit.

The deal does not have any obligations at the end of the loan deal so looking at his development, Real Madrid will have all the authority at the end of his loan spell. It's a big and good stage for Achraf to prove himself.

Good luck Hakimi.
