Arsenal to sign Hincapie for €52m amid Barcelona interest

Arsenal are set to sign Hincapie permanently after a loan from Bayer Leverkusen. The deal values the player at around €52 million.

Hincapie will be under contract with Arsenal until 2031. The length ties the defender to the club for a decade.

Barcelona are also linked with Hincapie. Their interest adds competition to the transfer market.

The loan includes a clause that automatically triggers a permanent transfer. Bayer Leverkusen will receive the agreed fee upon activation.

Arsenal expect to finalise the agreement before the transfer window closes. The club’s statement confirmed the target timeline.
