Piero Hincapie has expressed his desire to leave the Bayer Leverkusen This summer, in search of greater opportunities and new challenges. The young Ecuadorian centre-back, aged 22, is determined to take a leap forward in his career that will allow him to establish himself as a regular in a bigger club. This situation has sparked the interest of several big clubs in Europe, with Tottenham, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid leading the race for his signing.
According to Florian Plettenberg, Hincapié, who has been a key part of Leverkusen’s defence, is exploring his options for next season. Although there have already been some preliminary talks with other teams, a concrete agreement has not yet been reached. However, his departure seems imminent, and suitors have been quick to position themselves.
The 3 clubs that want to sign Piero Hincapié
-Tottenham: Tottenham, under the direction of Ange Postecoglou, are looking to strengthen their defensive line with the signing of the Ecuadorian. The idea of forming a solid duo with Cuti Romero, accompanied by Van de Ven and Dragusin, is seen in a positive light by the Australian coach, who considers Hincapié as the perfect complement to his defence.
-Liverpool: Liverpool, led by Arne Slot, need to cover the departure of Joel Matip, who is out of contract. Hincapié would be a valuable addition to the Reds’ defence, alongside the likes of Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté and youngster Jarell Quansah. The Ecuadorian’s versatility makes him an attractive option for the Anfield side.
-Atletico Madrid: Atlético de Madrid are also interested, seeing Hincapié as the ideal replacement for Mario Hermoso, who left the club after his contract expired. However, the ability of the Rojiblancos to complete the operation depends on closing a major sale, as they have made significant investments in recent signings.
The market is still open and Hincapié’s final decision could come at any time, with three giants of European football willing to bid strongly to secure his services.
