Liverpool are getting ready to spend again this summer. Jurgen Klopp's next target is talented Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie. The latter will be another alternative for the position of Virgil van Dijk, since he is also activated in the center of the defense. This could provide more options at the back for manager Klopp, who could move Van Dijk to the right wing to better cover Trent Alexander-Arnold's attacking sprints.
However, Bayer Levekusen has no intention of giving up easily in the face of English pressure. According to the prestigious German newspaper Bild, the Germans demand around 70 million euros for the defender's card. Meanwhile, it is learned that Liverpool is ready to spend this money, but the managers of "The Reds" remain skeptical about the value proposed by the Germans. Transfermarkt itself values Hincapie's card at 35 million euros.
The Ecuadorian signed a new contract with Bayer in February, which sees him stay at the club until 2027. This means the German club are under no pressure to sell his services, just in case he turns up. a truly irresistible offer.
Hincapie helped Ecuador reach the knockout stage of the World Cup in Qatar, and impressed even more with his performances in the Bundesliga under talented Spanish coach Xabi Alonso.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, gave up this market on the French superstar Moussa Diaby, who joined the English Aston Villa for the figure of 45 million euros. For this reason, the Germans should be convinced before letting another player leave, considering the damage that could be done to the team.
