Real Madrid Confidencial Neither Huijsen nor Saliba: Eduardo Inda Announces the Center-Back Florentino Wants to Sign
OKDiario Puts This Center Back's Name on the Table: He Is Very Liked at Real Madrid
Dean Huijsen and William Saliba are two names that are currently on Real Madrid's radar. The white team is looking to strengthen their defensive line for the upcoming season, and both players are highly favored by the Madrid entity.
Both fit perfectly into the recruitment policy that Florentino Pérez has been implementing for several years now. The president has opted to seek young footballers with potential for the future. Both the Spanish international and the Frenchman strictly meet this criterion.
However, OKDiario, a media outlet directed by Eduardo Inda, has brought up the name of Piero Hincapié, a defender who plays for Bayer Leverkusen. As this outlet points out, the Ecuadorian is liked by the high-ranking officials of the entity.
The main handicap is that he renewed just a few months ago with the German team. He has done so until 2029 and without a release clause. Nonetheless, in Chamartín, they believe that if they show interest, the player might choose to join Bernabéu.
After all, the current European champion is an attractive destination for any footballer. In fact, it is the best and the one all players dream of. For Hincapié, it would be a very significant step in his sports career.
The Xabi Alonso Factor
The fact that Xabi Alonso might end up joining Real Madrid could also be a key factor in the outcome of this operation. The man from San Sebastián is the coach of this defender and might help facilitate the operation. Thus, it seems crucial for him to arrive at the Madrid bench for the move to be executed.
These could perfectly be operations that are intertwined and might be carried out. Meanwhile, the sports management will continue to monitor Hincapié's progress. The important thing, moreover, is that it seems there is a change of plans in Madrid, and the leaders are interested in signing a center-back.
The situation is delicate. Rüdiger and Alaba are over the age of 30, while Militao has suffered two severe knee injuries. Asencio's emergence has been a relief, but the club might determine that this position needs reinforcement.
