Real Madrid, Piero Hincapie, Arsenal
Monday
Real Madrid have enquired about Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie this summer as Jose Mourinho looks for another left-footed centre-back. The Spanish club have already signed Ibrahima Konate but may add another defender if players leave.
A deal would be complicated because Arsenal only signed Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen last summer on a loan with obligation to buy. Madrid are also monitoring other defenders, but Nico Schlotterbeck’s injury has reduced that option.
