Manchester United are reportedly weighing up a €42 million swoop for Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapie, but the Bundesliga side are holding out for a hefty €70 million, according to Fichajes.
The 22-year-old Ecuadorian defender has emerged as a hot property across Europe, with Real Madrid and Liverpool also monitoring his situation. Despite signing a new contract until 2029, Leverkusen’s drop in form this season could spark a summer exodus — and Hincapie might be on the move.
Known for his left-footed versatility, Hincapie can slot into a back three or even play as a wing-back — a trait that will excite new United boss Ruben Amorim, who favours a fluid tactical setup. Amorim sees Hincapie as an ideal fit, but United could be hampered by financial constraints if Leverkusen refuse to budge on the €70M valuation.
Real Madrid remain interested but may walk away if the price stays sky-high. For now, Hincapie remains focused on his role at Leverkusen — though a Premier League switch looks increasingly likely this summer.
