bbc; deal could be done for €55 million

Liverpool are pushing ahead with a January approach for the 21-year-old, with a deal of €55 million possible.
Liverpool have began negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Piero Hincapie during the January transfer window.

According to Fichajes, the Premier League team is now taking strong moves to complete the deal and is in advanced discussions with the German club to sign the midfielder.
The Ecuadorian international has been a crucial player for the German club over the last year, and he should be a good long-term signing for Liverpool.

The Reds need to improve the quality and depth of their defense, and the 21-year-old fits the bill.

Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the club’s only trustworthy defenders right now, and Jurgen Klopp needs additional choices. Liverpool must seek to improve on guys like Joel Matip.

Hincapie is flexible enough to play fullback as well, and he might be useful to the Reds during rotation and injury situations.
With the appropriate coaching, the 21-year-old has the potential to develop into a top-tier center defense, and a manager like Klopp may be ideal for him. Throughout his coaching career, the German has developed some bright young players into superstars, and the South American defender will want to fulfill his potential under him.

A transfer may reportedly be done for roughly €55 million, and it is reasonable to think that a team with Liverpool’s riches can definitely pay that
