Liverpool is looking to bolster its defense.

“Liverpool will pursue the signing of Piero Incapie (22, Leverkusen) to bolster their defense in the summer transfer window,” British media outlet HITC reported on Tuesday.

Liverpool are one of the favorites to win the Premier League title this season. After 28 games in the league, the Reds have 19 wins, seven draws, and two losses, giving them 64 points and putting them in the thick of the title race.

They’ve already lifted the trophy. Liverpool won the 2023/2024 Carabao Cup final against Chelsea last month with a dramatic 1-0 victory.

Regardless of their success this season, a major overhaul is likely this summer. With Jürgen Klopp set to part ways with the club this summer, Liverpool are looking to usher in a new era.

One of their goals is to sign a new center back. With the future of Joel Matip, 32, out of contract this summer, a new center back is a must.

Incapie is one of the most likely targets. According to the report, Liverpool are already pressuring Leverkusen to secure Incapier’s signature this summer.

Incapier is known as one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga. He is a defensive versatile player who can play center-back and left-back, and his main strength is his defensive tenacity.

His record backs this up. Incapier was a key defender for Leverkusen last season, making 43 appearances across all competitions and contributing to the team’s rise to the top of the table.

This season, he was just as dominant. He made 29 appearances 토토 in all competitions. In February of last year, he signed a new contract with Leverkusen until 2027.

This hasn’t dampened Liverpool’s interest in Incapie. “The Reds have been closely monitoring Incapie for the past two years and are set to make a move for him this summer,” according to HITC.

Liverpool’s interest is not just a rumor. Incapie’s agent, Manuel Sierra, recently stated that “Liverpool have shown interest in Incapie, but the Reds chose to invest in midfield reinforcements last summer.”
