Liverpool boost as €40m Klopp ‘priority’ wants ‘new challenge’ as ‘talks’ begin again after January snub
Liverpool target Piero Hincapie wants a ‘new challenge’.
Liverpool have been given a boost in their bid to sign a new centre-back this summer as Piero Hincapie has reportedly told Bayer Leverkusen that he wants ‘a new challenge’.
The 22-year-old – who made 43 appearances in Leverkusen’s double-winning season in 2023-24 – has been near the top of Liverpool’s wishlist for the last year.
Reports in December claimed Jurgen Klopp has made Hincapie his ‘priority’ signing and it was later claimed that
the Merseyside outfit made him their ‘top defensive target’.
Klopp’s main ‘focus’ was to improve the squad with a left-footed central defender and Hincapie was ‘earmarked as a top candidate’.
The club initially planned to make the move in the summer but in the end made ‘enquiries about bringing forward a deal this January’.

And Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenburg has offered them a boost assuming interest remains in Hincapie, claiming the young defender is ‘open to a new challenge’ and is in ‘talks with other top clubs’.
He wrote on X: ‘Piero #Hincapie, one to watch now as the 22 y/o defender could leave Bayer 04 Leverkusen in August! Hincapie is open for a new challenge as he wants to be a regular starter next season.
‘There are inquiries and talks with other top clubs. But no agreements yet. Contract valid until 2027.’
