Overview

• Multiple outlets report a season-long loan agreed with Bayer Leverkusen for Hincapié, with a permanent fee structure totaling about €52m/£44–45m and a 10% sell-on clause.
• David Ornstein reports Hincapié has agreed personal terms and is expected in London this weekend to complete his medical.
• Jakub Kiwior is set to move to Porto on a loan with an obligation to buy, reported at roughly €25–26m (£21.6–24m), in a deal linked to Hincapié’s arrival.
• Hincapié, 23, is a left-footed defender who can cover centre-back and left-back, and would sign a five-year contract once the transfer becomes permanent.
• Reports differ on whether the clause is an option or obligation to buy and on fee timing, reflecting a deferred-payment structure common in late-window deals.
