More Details
The club’s ability to sell some of its present stars will be necessary in order to sign new players given their financial condition. To make room for newcomers, names like Joao Felix, Matheus Cunha, Felipe, Yannick Carrasco, and Thomas Lemar could be dropped.
The 20-year-old center back joined the Bundesliga team in 2021 after moving there from CA Talleres. He has swiftly established himself as a crucial member of the Leverkusen team and has emerged as one of Germany’s most promising young defenders. Atléti, who are renowned for their strong defense, have been all over the field at the back this year.
Jose Maria Gimenez’s fitness issues persist, and Mario Hermoso and Felipe, among others, haven’t impressed enough. A new center-back could be added since the former is most likely to be sold in January.
Hincapie has a contract with Bayer Leverkusen that runs through 2026, and the report claims that the German team would be willing to let the Ecuadorian international go after the World Cup, especially if he has a successful campaign in Qatar, which may increase his value even more. However, because of their financial difficulties, Atléti will need to set a limit on how much they are willing to spend on the defender.
Due to the troubles of summer signing Nahuel Molina, a new right-back is also rumored to be on the Civitas Metropolitano’s agenda in addition to a center-back.

Meanwhile…
Rodrigo Riquelme, a 22-year-old player on loan from Atletico Madrid to Girona, has demonstrated tremendous potential this season, scoring four goals in all competitions.
It’s interesting to note that on October 8, 2022, in front of a crowded Civitas Metropolitano, he scored one of his three La Liga goals against his parent team. Even though Atletico won the game, everyone in the stadium applauded Riquelme both when he scored the goal and when he was replaced.
As a result of spending several seasons on loan, Riquelme has acquired a knack for scoring goals in any situation, as evidenced by the fact that he had 12 assists last season while playing for CD Mirandes.
