The 23-year-old player has become a primary target for coach Diego Simeone, who is looking to rejuvenate the team with young elements that combine strength and experience.
Hincapié has significant international experience despite his young age, having participated in 44 matches with the Ecuador national team, along with his impressive performance with Leverkusen this season, where he has shown defensive solidity, speed in intercepting balls, and a remarkable ability to build attacks from the back.
Atletico Madrid’s management sees Hincapié as an ideal option due to his tactical flexibility, as he excels at playing as a center-back or as a left-back, which aligns with Simeone’s changing defensive strategies.
According to what ‘Fichajes’ reported, the player is open to taking on a new challenge in La Liga, making the deal close to realization if an agreement is reached with the German club.
