Manchester United has set its sights on Piero Hincapié as one of its priorities for the upcoming transfer market. The Ecuadorian center-back, a key player for Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso, has sparked the interest of the 'Red Devils', who are considering paying the €42 million release clause. The intention is clear: to reinforce a defense that has shown weaknesses this season and needs new guarantees for the 2025 campaign.

The South American defender is one of the most promising young talents in Europe, and his performance in the Bundesliga has not gone unnoticed. His left-footed profile, anticipation skills, and speed in coverage make him a very attractive option for Ruben Amorim, who aims to improve ball distribution from the backline and enhance defensive solidity amidst the recurring absences in his defense.

Real Madrid is also interested in Piero Hincapié

However, United is not the only team valuing him. Real Madrid's environment has also closely monitored Hincapié, although the Whites are considering other players like Dean Huijsen, whose release clause exceeds €60 million. This cost difference might give Manchester an edge in the race for the Ecuadorian defender.

Nevertheless, Leverkusen will not let him go easily. With a contract until 2029 and an increasing market value, the German club would not be willing to negotiate below €70 million, despite the existence of a lower release clause. In the meantime, the player remains focused on his current situation in Germany but is aware of the interest from top European clubs. The battle for Hincapié is just beginning.
