Real Madrid Confidencial Neither Konaté nor Saliba: Florentino receives a call from the center-back Xabi likes
A center-back has been offered to Madrid and Xabi approves his arrival with complete confidence
Real Madrid remains very active in the market despite already having signed Álvaro Carreras. Many indicated that was going to be the last move Madridists would make. However, it seems they're keeping an eye on several deals they still haven't ruled out closing.
A center-back and a midfielder seem to be the current priorities Madrid is setting. Precisely for the defense, Florentino has received an offer from an interesting player. Piero Hincapié's agents have contacted the president of the club.
They wanted to know what Bernabéu's intentions are and whether Hincapié fits into their plans. He's one of the center-backs Xabi Alonso likes the most after having coached him at Bayer Leverkusen. He had put his name on the list of candidates for that position.
However, as we have been able to confirm at Defensa Central, they aren't considering signing Hincapié. At least this summer, it won't be a move Real Madrid makes at the end of the market. They believe that with Huijsen, they don't feel so much pressure to go after him.
Real Madrid doesn't close the door on signing a center-back
It's true that Real Madrid doesn't seem convinced about signing Piero Hincapié this summer. They believe there's no need to lose their heads to bring in another center-back immediately. Although they don't rule out the arrival of one, it would be because it would be a great opportunity.
We're referring to Konaté, who still hasn't renewed with Liverpool and whose situation seems increasingly clear. He has expressed his interest in moving to Real Madrid if he doesn't stay at Anfield. In fact, he reportedly rejected a substantial offer from Saudi Arabia because his plans are clear.
If Liverpool doesn't see his renewal as clear, they could agree to negotiate his transfer this summer. They don't want the same thing that happened with Trent to happen again and are looking to get some financial return from the deal. Although Real Madrid isn't willing to pay an outrageous amount.
