They are not the only side showing an interest in the Slovakia international, though.

“It’s not easy for me. Last night my phone exploded. I just want to be able to train as well as possible this week towards the important match against PSV,” Hancko said.
“If a club wants to break the transfer record for me, that would be nice. That helps Feyenoord.”
West Ham are providing Everton competition for Hancko with the Hammers also keen to bring him to England over the coming months.

As well as the interest from Europe, Hancko is being linked with a potential move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

“I’m going to speak to my agent at the end of the season. I’ll speak with my family, with my closest ones and make a decision,” he said.
“No, I didn’t have a call from him [Ronaldo]. It’s not making my life easier for now.”
Feyenoord have promised Hancko he can leave when the window does open, but it seems apparent he is still not sure where his next club will be.
What is clear is that he will not be short of offers.
