As the summer transfer window heats up in European football, "Real Madrid" has begun efforts to strengthen its squad further. In this regard, Bayer Leverkusen's young and talented defender Pero Inkape has arrived in the Spanish capital — Madrid. This was reported by "El Chiringuito" publication.
Inkape in Madrid – a sign of a transfer?
According to sources, Pero Inkape, who is the main defender of the Ecuador national team, is one step closer to joining the "whites." His appearance at the airport has sparked serious interest among the public, indicating that this process is not just a trip but the beginning of official negotiations.
Xabi Alonso's recommendation – a key factor
Reports suggest that Xabi Alonso, who is expected to be appointed as the new head coach of "Real," personally recommended Inkape to the Madrid club. This duo has successfully worked together in Leverkusen for several seasons, and the coach is fully satisfied with the defender's preparation level and tactical skills.
Why did "Real" choose Inkape?
Currently, "Real" is focusing on increasing competition in the defense line. After signing a contract with Din Hloysen, the club plans to add another versatile player to the central defense. Inkape fits these requirements with his versatile positional movements, technical ability, and quick decision-making skills.

Pero Inkape has been playing for "Bayer" since 2021. In the current season, he has participated in 45 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. Despite his young age, he stands out for his high-level performances and consistency.
