In search of redemption after a halftone season, Real Madrid begins a real revolution. A rare situation for a club accustomed to stability. But this time, Florentino Pérez decided to upset everything. First on the bench, with the arrival, before the Club World Cup, of Xabi Alonso. Then, on the transfers market: Huijsen, Alexander-Arnold, Carreras and the Mastanuono nugget have already joined Casa Blanca. Despite the failure of Florian Wirtz's recruitment at the start of the transfer window, Xabi Alonso seems ready to trust Arda Güler, and does not exclude the idea of a three -time defense, a rarity in Madrid. In this logic, a name stands out at Real Madrid: that of Piero Hincapié, 21 years old. According to ESPNthe 23 -year -old Ecuadorian central defender, who was under the orders of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, was allegedly offered to Real.
Solid, fast, capable of relaunching cleanly and especially at ease in a defense of three and four, Hincapié, left -handed, represents a profile complementary to that of Huijsen. He already knows the tactical requirements of his former coach and could quickly adapt to the Madrid environment. Real seeks to strengthen in this sector, especially in the event of an injury, so as not to make the same mistake as last season. Last season, Carlo Ancelotti had to reposition Tchouameni in central defense, an emergency solution that cannot last. During the Club World Cup, Rudiger and Asencio disappointed, making multiple errors. For the moment, it is in defense that Madrid must secure themselves. Hincapié, by its versatility and knowledge of the Alonso system, could well be the missing part.
