La Liga
Real Madrid is in deep reflection following their unexpected elimination from the Club World Cup at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. This defeat has exposed several deficiencies in the squad, with a particular focus on the team's defensive problems. The board already considers it vital to strengthen the defense for the upcoming transfer market, aware that maintaining the competitive level requires ensuring a strong and reliable defensive line.
During the tournament, it became evident that some players are not at their best, and the bench does not meet the standards expected at Real Madrid. In this regard, one name that has begun to gain prominence at Valdebebas is Piero Hincapié, the Ecuadorian center-back from Bayer Leverkusen.
An affordable price for a center-back favored by Xabi Alonso
The 23-year-old defender was a cornerstone of the German team under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, who knows him and would have opened the doors for his arrival at Real Madrid. His youth, versatility, and ability to anticipate in defense make him a very attractive prospect for the white team.
It is estimated that Leverkusen could demand around 50 million euros for his transfer, a sum that Real Madrid would be willing to pay if he proves to be the ideal piece to strengthen their defense. Hincapié would be an investment for the present and the future, in a line where players like Asensio, Rudiger, Alaba, and Militao have not shown the expected solidity in recent crucial matches.
