Man Utd competes with Real Madrid for Leverkusen’s €50 million ‘jewel’

After an impressive season at CA Talleres, midfielder Piero Hincapie  moved to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2021. Here, the Ecuadorian international grew stronger and became a mainstay of the Bundesliga club.

To date, Hincapie has appeared in 81 matches and even contributed to 5 goals. This season, the 21-year-old midfielder only played 132 minutes due to a 3-match suspension.

According to sources from Defensa Central, big teams are starting to keep an eye on Hincapie, among them Real Madrid .

The Spanish royal team is having problems in defense, with Eder Militao absent for a long time due to injury, while David Alaba’s physical condition is also unstable.

Faced with this situation, Real wants to speed up negotiations to recruit Hincapie. Defensa Central revealed that Leverkusen wants to earn 50 million euros for this deal. 

However, Los Blancos may have to compete with Man Utd to sign the Ecuadorian star . The Red Devils are also looking for a quality midfielder to replace Lisandro Martinez, who had to undergo surgery and is expected to only be able to return at the beginning of the year.

Beckham, who is a Global Ambassador for the brand, was one of over 100 guests at the glitzy event in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

He arrived in a custom-made Maserati GranTurismo in striking black.

The football star was reportedly presented with the car as a thank you from the company for his work promoting them.

The 2023 GranTurismo retails at just over £159,000.

With the customisation and big-name association, Beckham’s GT is likely worth quite a bit more even than that.

A 2022 MC20, a 1986 Quattroporte Royale and 1967 Ghibli also feature in his extensive multi-million pound car collection.

He helped design the MC20 and owns a custom version though to be worth well-over £220,000.

Speaking at the launch, he said: “I’m delighted to be here to support the opening of Maserati’s first new store concept in the UK.

“These are exciting times for the brand and this store reflects Maserati’s commitment to great design and innovation.”

The new store is designed to combine the atmosphere of a tailor’s and a workshop, allowing customers to exercise complete control over the design of their car.

It will showcase five cars at a time in a constantly changing display and offers a lounge area and a dedicated space for customisation, featuring a 3D design screen.

Bernard Loire, Maserati’s Chief Commercial Officer, added: “From the early stages of developing a new car, to the complete luxury retail experience, everything at Maserati is designed with the client in mind.

“Our first new concept store in the UK embodies our values of passion, innovation and beauty through the lens of Italian luxury and it represents another significant milestone in our exciting growth plans, including the launches of GranTurismo and our electric Folgore range.”

It comes after Maserati revealed its fastest-ever car, with a top speed of 202mph.

Meanwhile, an international hunt has been launched after a super-rare 1968 Porsche worth £85,000 was stolen from a car park.
