Liverpool has shown a keen interest in securing the services of Bundesliga defender Piero Hincapie. The 21-year-old has been making waves with Bayer Leverkusen, aiding the team’s ascent to the summit of the Bundesliga table. Hincapie’s standout performances have not only drawn Liverpool’s attention but also captured the interest of West Ham United.
According to a Fussball Transfers report, Hincapie’s contract contains a release clause set at €70 million, prompting Liverpool to closely monitor his situation. This interest in the player had emerged during the summer transfer window, and whether the Reds opt to pursue him in January remains uncertain.
Triggering his release clause seems imperative for Liverpool to secure his services. Leverkusen, in the midst of a title challenge, is unlikely to willingly part with a key player like Hincapie mid-season.
Hincapie presents the potential for a quality, long-term addition to Liverpool’s defense, particularly in light of the impending need to replace Joel Matip. His versatility, being capable of performing as both a central defender and a left-back, adds to his appeal as an asset for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The lure of playing in the Premier League might intrigue the young defender, especially if Liverpool presents a concrete proposal for his signing. The evolving developments in this situation are anticipated over the coming weeks.
