Piero Hincapie of Bayer Leverkusen is not likely to be the new defender Liverpool signs in January, despite the fact that the club was said to be interested in him in the summer.
Manuel Sierra, the player’s agent, reiterated earlier statements made about his client’s future, while Ben Jacobs added that his sources at the Reds had told him the center-back would not be taken into consideration for the upcoming transfer window.
With an earlier-than-expected contract extension until 2027, the Bundesliga club has secured the short-term future of their Ecuadorian international.Liverpool’s decision to pass on Hincapie in January is most likely due to the financial commitment required for a player Xabi Alonso will be particularly eager to hold onto.There is also the unexpected ascension of 20-year-old Jarell Quansah, a product of the Academy. However, despite how impressive the young man has been, it is important to keep in mind that he does not fit the bill for the left-footed defender that we still desperately need.
If the need arises on our end, Goncalo Inacio of Sporting CP is probably another option, though the Premier League star will also not be inexpensive.
