Real Madrid remains attentive to the market and has put Piero Hincapié on its radar as one of the options to reinforce its defense next summer. The Ecuadorian center-back from Bayer Leverkusen has sparked interest from the white club, although Liverpool is also in the race for his signing, as reported by media in Germany.

Florentino Pérez, after securing the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold for the next season, continues to look for reinforcements for Carlo Ancelotti's defense. At 23 years old, Hincapié is an alternative being considered at the Santiago Bernabéu offices. His contract with Leverkusen extends until 2029, and his market value is around 50 million euros, a figure much higher than the eight million that the Germans paid for him in 2021. His growth in recent years has been remarkable, solidifying his status as one of the most promising defenders in Europe.

His versatility is another point in his favor. Although he mainly plays as a left central defender, he can also perform as a left-back and adapt to different defensive structures, which could be valuable in Real Madrid's scheme.

Hincapié is not the only one

However, before making a final decision, the club will have to evaluate the condition of its squad. David Alaba has recovered from his injury, but Éder Militao is still in full rehabilitation after the serious anterior cruciate ligament rupture suffered last season. His progress will be key to determining whether Madrid will opt for another reinforcement in defense.

In addition to Hincapié, the Merengue club is also considering other options, such as Ibrahima Konaté from Liverpool, and Dean Huijsen, the center-back from Bournemouth who recently made his debut with the Spanish national team leaving a great impression in the matches against the Netherlands.
