Real Madrid has become increasingly uncertain of their options in the last six months, as evidenced by their € 120 million editions on the backline to bring in Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alvaro Carreras. However, there is still an element of doubt around the options next to Dean Huijsen in the central defense, especially if Xabi Alonso chooses to play with a back three.
This has been proven by the consistent ties with Ibrahima Konate of Liverpool, although the latter is that Real Madrid is planning to plan that deal next summer. The form of Raul Asencio on the Club World Cup raised serious doubts, while Eer Militao and David Alaba are not yet fully recovered from serious knee injuries, and no guarantee about how they could return.
Moreover, Antonio Rudiger, their most reliable defender during their last two years, also comes after the operation. He undoubtedly looked in the United States and has a chronic arthritis issue in his knee.
According to ESPN, Los Blancos Bayer Leverkusen -defender Piero Hincapie was offered. The 23-year-old defender is connected this summer with a number of teams, including Atletico Madrid and Chelsea. With a market value of € 50 million according to transfer market, Hincapie could be available this summer for the right price.
One of the benefits of signing hincapie would of course be his fame with Alonso and his message. The Ecuador International was a key figure on the Leverkusen side of Alonso and perfectly suited to play three on the left side of a back. That role has been offered to Huijsen so far, but the Spain International can be moved elsewhere in the backline. That said, there is little suggestion that Los Blancos will be big again for a defender this summer.
