Arsenal Reach Agreement to Sign Piero Hincapié in Loan-to-Buy Deal Worth About £45m

The structure defers the outlay as Arsenal recalibrate their left-sided defence before the deadline.

Overview

  • Piero Hincapié will join on a season-long loan that includes a purchase clause valued at roughly €52m/£45m, according to multiple reports.
  • Hincapié has agreed personal terms and is expected to travel to London this weekend for a medical ahead of completing the move.
  • The agreement includes a reported 10% sell-on clause, with a five-year contract set to be signed if the transfer becomes permanent.
  • Jakub Kiwior’s sale to FC Porto is being finalised in parallel for a guaranteed €25m, potentially rising to around €27m, and is contingent on Hincapié’s arrival.
  • The 23-year-old Ecuador international offers left-sided centre-back and left-back cover and is set to be Arsenal’s eighth addition of the summer.
