In a recent ɾєρօɾτ,CalciomercatowebɾєⱱєɑłєԀ thatReal Madridhave set their sights onBayer 04Leverkusen defєɴԀer Piero Hincapie. It has been claimed thatLos Blancosare eyeing a move to bring the Ecuadorian talent in this off-season.
Hincapie’s Impressive Form In German Football Last Season
Hincapie produced a series of impressive displays at the centre of Leverkusen’s defence last season and did well to score one goal and secure one assist in 43 appearances for the German club in all competitions.
The 21-year-old was a consistent performer in both halves based on his average of 1.7 tackles, 1.0 interceptions and 2.5 clearances per 90 minutes inBundesliga. He has even been tidy when distributing possession from the back after completing 83.2% of his attempted passes in top-flight football (stats viawhoscored).
His current contract at the German club is set to run out in the summer of 2027. Thus, it won’t be easy forReal Madridto get him on board ahead of the new campaign.
ShouldReal MadridBoss Carlo Ancelotti Move In For Hincapie?
Hincapie is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to secure possession back for his team on the defensive third of the pitch. He doesn’t mind putting his foot thɾօυɢҺ the ball when needed and is a decent passer of the ball as well.
Hincapie mainly functions as a central defєɴԀer but can also fill in as a left-back if asked to do so. The Ecuadorian talent is only going to get better with each season, soReal Madridwill do well to lure him to theSantiago Bernabeu Stadiumthis summer.
We can expect Hincapie to bring more bite and steel to Carlo Ancelotti’s defence. He might even helpLos Blancoschallenge for some major trophies over the next decade. Thus, it makes a lot of sense forthe Madrid giantsto move in for the Ecuadorian youngster during this summer transfer period. However, it remains to be seen whether he can make a smooth transition to life in the Spanish capital.
At 21, the future is quite bright for Hincapie, so Ancelotti has every ɾєɑȿօɴ to be confident about unlocking the best out of him over the next few years.
