Inter have been following Hakimi for two years, says former player Kharja

The right-back looks set for a move to Italy after impressing on loan at Dortmund, and a former Morocco star says the deal has long been mooted

Achraf Hakimi's move from Real Madrid to Inter has been in the works for more than two years, according to former Morocco international Houssine Kharja.

The right wing-back has impressed on loan at Borussia Dortmund for the last two seasons and had been expected to either remain at the Bundesliga club or return to Santiago Bernabeu to compete for a place in Zinedine Zidane's first-team.

However Inter have swooped for the Moroccan, with a €45 million (£40m/$50m) deal expected to be completed to Antonio Conte's team in the coming days.
