Liverpool are considering highly rated left-sided defender Piero Hincapie, who is reportedly “open for a new challenge in winter as he wants to play regularly.” However, the 21-year-old has only started two Bundesliga games this season and Leverkusen, who appreciate him, want to keep him as Tapsoba and Kossounou are heading to AFCON. Liverpool may find it difficult to move for Hincapie in January, but his ability to play at left-back could be a reason to pursue his services. In other news, Liverpool will not be involved in FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup in 2025, and ex-Liverpool youth coach Michael Beale has taken over at Sunderland.
