Borussia Dortmund will attempt to secure loanee defender Achraf Hakimi on a permanent deal, according to club CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.
The 20-year-old is on a two-year loan from Real Madrid and has made eight league appearances in Dortmund's unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season.
"Dear Paco Alcacer, welcome to Borussia Dortmund," said Watzke, who was speaking at the club's annual assembly.
"And Achraf Hakimi - we will try to do the same thing with you, even though it will not be easy."
What an amazing game ! Proud of our team. Great Victory at home. November 10, 2018
Hakimi made nine league appearances for Madrid in 2017-18, scoring twice for the club then coached by Zinedine Zidane.
Since then, Julen Lopetegui's ill-fated spell in charge of Los Blancos has come and gone, and it is unclear whether his successor Santiago Solari will include Hakimi in his plans.
Morocco international Hakimi has made the left-back spot his own this season, limiting Raphael Guerreiro's opportunities in the first-team.
