Real Madrid is already planning its next move in the market, and all signs point to the next reinforcement coming for the defense. With Xabi Alonso determined to consolidate the three-center-back scheme that was successfully used against Salzburg in the Club World Cup group stage, the white directive has focused its attention on an old acquaintance of the coach: Piero Hincapié. The Ecuadorian center-back, who was already coached by Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, is emerging as the ideal candidate for this new defensive model.

The Basque coach has been clear about the profile he is looking for. He needs a defender who not only knows how to close spaces but also has the ability to start the game from the back with criteria. In that regard, Hincapié provides guarantees. At 22 years old, the South American footballer has shown maturity, tactical reading, and skill with the ball, qualities that make him an attractive piece for the new white project.

In addition to his tactical fit, his market value makes him even more interesting. It is estimated that his signing could be closed for a figure close to 40 million euros, a manageable amount for Madrid if they manage to make some significant sales. Among the possible sacrifices are important names such as Rodrygo Goes and Eduardo Camavinga, footballers who are highly regarded in Europe and could bring substantial income.

Hincapié's addition would not only strengthen the defensive line but also allow for a more solid rotation in an increasingly demanding schedule. Alonso wants a team that knows how to defend as a unit and build from the back. In that system, the Ecuadorian has everything to shine with the "merengue" shirt. Discussions are still in the early stages, but everything is already in motion in Valdebebas for a signing that could shape the structure of Real Madrid in 2025-26.
