Madrid, October 15, 2025– In a dramatic turn that has shaken the world of football, a former Real Madrid player has publicly confessed his regret for leaving the white club. The statement, leaked through sources close to the player, reveals a deep discomfort in his current career and a fervent desire to return to the Santiago Bernabéu. “Since I left Real, everything has gone wrong for me, I regret the decision I made at the time and I am willing to correct my mistake if the opportunity arises,” the footballer reportedly said in a private conversation that has gone viral on social networks and specialized media.
The protagonist of this story is not Karim Benzema or Ferland Mendy, as has been speculated in recent hours. It is aboutAshraf Hakimi, the Moroccan full-back who left Real Madrid in 2018 after a minor conflict with president Florentino Pérez. Hakimi, then a promising 19-year-old, left on loan to Borussia Dortmund due to differences in the management of his development and contractual pressures. Pérez, known for his heavy hand with young talents, prioritized other signings and the player felt that he had no space in the first team. That departure was presented as an opportunity to gain minutes, but Hakimi never returned to Madrid.
After shining at Dortmund and Inter Milan, where he won Serie A in 2021, Hakimi signed for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021 for 60 million euros. However, his time at the French club has been an ordeal. Recurring injuries, fierce competition with players like Nuno Mendes and an irregularity in his performance have undermined his confidence. In the current season, under the direction of Luis Enrique, Hakimi has been a substitute in several key matches in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. PSG internal sources confirm that the club has told him to look for a new destination in the January 2026 winter market, since he is not part of the long-term plans and his high salary (around 10 million net annually) is a budgetary burden.
Hakimi’s confession comes at a delicate moment for Real Madrid, which is seeking to strengthen its right-backs amid doubts over the chronically injured Dani Carvajal and the youth of Lucas Vázquez. The 26-year-old Moroccan has accumulated experience in top competitions and his speed, overpowering and offensive ability make him an ideal profile for Carlo Ancelotti. “I want to return to Madrid, it is the club of my life. It was an impulsive mistake influenced by agents and external pressures,” the player reportedly added, according to the testimony collected by journalist Fabrizio Romano in his X account.
Real Madrid has not issued an official statement, but insiders suggest that Pérez, pragmatic as always, would evaluate a low-cost operation if PSG facilitates the exit. Hakimi, who debuted with Castilla and was promoted to the first team, dreams of redeeming himself in the White House, where he left his mark in his beginnings. His return could be the “correction of error” that he longs for, especially after five years of ups and downs in Paris.
This news has generated a whirlwind on the networks: Real Madrid fans celebrate the possible return of a “prodigal son”, while in France the management of PSG with talents is criticized. Will we see Hakimi in white in January? The winter market promises to be hot. All the history and updates in the official link: here.
