The €35M player who could be Liverpool's new Ecuadorian jewel after Caicedo's rejection

Just a few days ago our Liverpool received a hard blow that seemed to leave us very bad for the rest of the transfer market, as the Anfield board tried to make a last minute move to steal the signing of Moises Caicedo with Chelsea, for which they offered a record transfer fee to Brighton, who accepted the offer of £110 million, but in the end it was Caicedo himself who rejected the possibility of reaching the biggest team in England.

Caicedo's rejection was indeed painful for many fans of the club, as the 21-year-old Ecuadorian had the profile to be Liverpool's new star defensive midfielder. However, he chose to join a team that will not even play in European competitions this season.

In addition to what it meant to have lost the race for his signature, the Caicedo fiasco also generated another big problem for the Anfield board, because now all teams knew that Liverpool had a large amount of money, so it has been speculated that this could cause the Reds to end up overpaying for players towards the end of the summer transfer window, especially taking into account that the Reds are urgent to strengthen the midfield and also the defense of the squad.

Liverpool have already made official the arrival of Wataru Endo, a 30-year-old Japanese defensive midfielder who arrives from VfB Stuttgart, where he was captain. However, it is said that Liverpool is still looking for another midfielder and a left-sided central defender, and it seems that Jürgen Klopp could target another Ecuadorian gem to become the club's new player.

The new Ecuadorian jewel that Klopp wants

According to the German portal FussballTransfers, Liverpool are reported to be admirers of Piero Hincapie, the 21-year-old Ecuadorian defender who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen and is valued, according to the Transfermarkt portal, at €35 million, an amount that would be perfectly affordable for the Anfield board.
