Piero Hincapié is divided with a market value of 50 million euros, the most valuable central defender in the Bundesliga – but how long? If it is based on his consultant Manuel Sierra from the AS1 agency, he could leave Bayer this summer. “Piero is very happy in Leverkusen, but after four years it is the right time for the next step when the opportunity is offered,” Sierra is from “Kicker“Quoted.
“If a club comes from the top 8 or top 10, it would like to check the possibility of a transfer,” it continues. According to the magazine, Bayer is planning for the new season with Hincapié, but the 23 -year -old defender has an exit clause and could be signed for a transfer between 50 million and 60 million euros. This would become one of the most expensive sales in club history. Hincapié had extended his contract until 2029 last December – it is the longest term in Leverkusen’s squad. With Jonathan Tah (29), a defender Bayer is already leaving and also free of charge.
The 44-fold Ecuadorian international Hincapié is associated with several clubs abroad in the TM rumor mill, including those who have a higher squad value (644 million): Real Madrid (1.27 billion), FC Liverpool (994 million), Paris Saint-Germain (924 Mio.), Manchester United (699 million) and Inter Milan (664 million). However, something concrete does not seem to be there, rather interest is only said to be interested in the reports.
Hincapié came to Werkelf from the Argentine Association of Ca Talleres in 2021 for 6.4 million euros, for which he has played 164 games since then and contributed seven goals and five templates. In the past season, he was on the field in 45 games over 3,788 minutes – only three teammates collected more time.
