Liverpool have been told that Feyenoord defender Dávid Hancko is absolutely ready for the next step in his career.
That’s at least according to former Feyenoord defender Tim de Cler, who believes the Slovakian ‘can do anything’.
A report at the end of last week indicated that Liverpool had made the first move for the Feyenoord defender, contacting the Dutch side about a potential move, which would be valued around €35m.
Hancko is, of course, a player that new Liverpool manager Arne Slot knows well, having had him for 92 games in total during his time in charge of the Dutch club.
It is presumably that which is leading to a potential move for him this summer as he takes charge at Anfield and shapes the squad in his own image.
In the meantime, Hancko is at Euro 2024 with Slovakia and was a key player in the surprise win over Belgium on Monday.
De Cler was one of many watching that game, which is the undisputed shock of the tournament in Germany so far, and was once again left impressed by Hancko, who he thinks would fit in nicely at Liverpool.
“He is so stable and can basically do anything. I just think he is a top defender all-round,” he said.
“If he makes it to the next round, and that chance is quite high, his market value will also increase again. More and more clubs are becoming interested. And they were already there.
“I think he can easily handle a club just below the top six in Europe. Then I’m talking about a club like Atlético Madrid or Liverpool. He can certainly handle that.”
