Does Leverkusen have to plan again in defense? Anyway, Liverpool FC has expressed interest in Piero Hincapie. If the Ecuadorian were to leave, Bayer 04 would need a top-class replacement.
Aroused the interest of Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool FC: Piero Hincapie IMAGO/Beautiful Sports
Bayer 04 had actually closed the chapter on transfers for the defense. With the commitment of Josip Stanisic from FC Bayern Munich, who comes to Leverkusen on a running basis for a year, the Europa League participant sees himself well and broadly filled, regardless of whether coach Xabi Alonso wants to deploy a four-man or five-man chain.
“We are flexible enough at the back for the season,” said managing director Simon Rolfes after the Stanisic deal. But this classification could now be questioned. After all, defender Piero Hincapie has an extremely high-profile prospect: Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool FC are dealing with the Bayer professional, the British radio station Talksport reported first.
Hincapie extended to 2027 in the spring
The Reds are looking for a left center-back player. It is not surprising that they come up with the Ecuadorian World Cup participant, after all, the 21-year-old is on the list of several top European clubs.
But if Liverpool really want to play Hincapie, the Klopp club will have to dig deep into their pockets. Because Bayer 04 don’t really want to name the left foot, who only extended his contract prematurely until 2027 in the spring.
For Hincapie, who can also defend on the left in a back four or five, the traditional English club would have to make an extraordinary offer for the highly ambitious Bundesliga club to even consider selling. In addition, Bayer should still have an equivalent alternative as a replacement for the Ecuadorian on the transfer market, which closes on Friday next week.
