Atlético de Madrid continues to explore options to strengthen its defense and already has an alternative plan if the signing of Cristian ‘Cuti’ Romero does not materialize. The Tottenham center-back is one of Diego Pablo Simeone's priorities, but his importance in Ange Postecoglou's scheme and his high price seriously complicate any attempt to bring him out of English football. Faced with this scenario, the rojiblanco club has activated a more accessible route: Piero Hincapié.

The Ecuadorian defender from Bayer Leverkusen, 23 years old, emerges as a solid alternative in case convincing the London team with an offer for Romero is unsuccessful. Hincapié has caught the attention of the colchonero coaching staff thanks to his left-footed profile, aggressiveness in duels, and ability to adapt to different defensive schemes, qualities highly valued by Simeone.

Piero Hincapié in Atlético de Madrid's sights

With a valid contract in Germany and an important role in the Bundesliga champion, his departure would not be straightforward either. However, his cost is significantly lower than the Argentine's, and the Madrid club could launch an offensive if the doors of Tottenham remain closed.

Atlético's defense needs reinforcements to face the upcoming season with guarantees, especially if the departure of any of its current center-backs is confirmed. In this context, the Hincapié option is gaining more and more weight. Furthermore, the Ecuadorian would fit the profile of signings that Atlético has prioritized in recent years: young, with potential, and international experience.

Simeone wants to renew his defense with talent and reliability. While Cuti Romero still tops the list, Piero Hincapié is getting closer to becoming a real option. The market is just beginning, but significant moves are already taking shape at the Metropolitano.
