Hancko has attracted interest from clubs in both the Premier League and Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen has already made contact in response to Xabi Alonso's desire for a central defender who is physically strong and of high caliber. The Slovakian defender, who has gained prominence at Feyenoord, is valued by the Dutch club at no less than 25 million euros. Although Juventus had been confident about acquiring Hancko, internal challenges have impeded their efforts, allowing other clubs to make a move. Bayer Leverkusen's interest is consistent with their pursuit of another defender, Malick Thiaw, as both players are included in Xabi Alonso's targets.
