Fichajes reports that Liverpool are targeting Piero Hincapié to strengthen their defense and potentially cover for Virgil van Dijk’s departure. The Ecuadorian, a key player at Bayer Leverkusen, is seen as the perfect candidate to lead Arne Slot’s defense.

As for Van Dijk, Barcelona are among the clubs interested in him. The Catalan side are looking to bolster their defense with a top-tier signing and are eyeing the veteran, who could join as a free agent this summer.

Barcelona are reportedly planning to offer Van Dijk a two-year contract, hoping to entice him with a competitive project despite financial constraints. The deal will depend on whether Van Dijk is willing to adjust his salary expectations, as his current wages at Liverpool are high and the club faces financial challenges.
