Alonso was rumoured to be keen on the Ecuador star, but he prefers Atletico Madrid, based on their longer standing interest.
Simeone’s firmer interest has proven crucial with Alonso already boosted by bringing in Dean Huijsen and Raul Asencio signing a contract extension.
How much will Atletico Madrid pay for Hincapie?
As per reports from Mundo Deportivo , Atletico Madrid have already reached out to Hincapie’s representatives and will push ahead with intense transfer talks.
Centre back was not viewed as a priority previously , but the exits of versatile pair Azpilicueta and Witsel means Simeone has a squad gap, which Hincapie can fill.
However, as shown by Leverkusen’s determination to secure a club record fee from Liverpool for Florian Wirtz, they will not let Hincapie leave for cheap and Simeone will be quoted their full €50m asking price as an exit price.
