Piero Hincapie’s agent has confirmed Liverpool’s summer interest in the defender and hinted at a future move for the Bayer Leverkusen star. According to Bolavipi, Piero Hincapie’s agent Manuel Sierra was interested in the Liverpool defender in the summer, according to Sport Witness. The representative called for new negotiations to determine the defender’s future and hinted at a move in the future.
In football parlance, “future” could be the next window, which in this case is January. Piero Hincapie’s stock has risen following his move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2021. The defender became one of their key players and even signed a new contract in February this year.
Therefore, Leverkusen did not rush to sell the Ecuadorian in the summer and managed to maintain his position before the January window. The Bundesliga team started the season brilliantly. They did it without the 22-year-old defender, who missed the first three games due to suspension.
Hincapie is setting high goals for the future and would certainly like to move to a big club. His agent Manuel Sierra confirmed Liverpool’s interest in the summer window. He also hinted at an imminent transfer and hinted that new negotiations have since taken place, hinting at a possible price of €50 million.
Sierra said: “Liverpool were interested in him but at the time they decided to invest in midfield.” “In January, they talk like other clubs, it will not be less than 50 million euros.”
Liverpool were eyed for a new left-footed defender in the summer, but their plans changed when Jordan Henderson and Fabinho left the club. Jürgen Klopp then focused on rebuilding his midfield and looked away from the idea of supporting the back line.
Liverpool are the only team in the top six without a left-footed centre-back and Klopp is keen to address that. Among other players, there are links to Goncalo Inacio, which shows that the manager seems to want a player with that profile.
Hincapie is fit and Liverpool could come back with a good offer in the January window. The question is whether they will come close to the asking price of 50 million euros. If they decide against it, Leverkusen will refuse to sell the 22-year-old Bundesliga defender.
