Overview

• Bayer Leverkusen are pointing Arsenal to Piero Hincapié’s £52m (€60m) release clause as the London club seeks a lower, structured agreement.
• Hincapié has verbally agreed personal terms with Arsenal and is pushing for the move, according to multiple reports.
• FC Porto’s offer for Jakub Kiwior is a loan with an obligation to buy at around €26m, with Arsenal countering near €30m as negotiations continue.
• A private jet booked to take Kiwior for a medical was canceled while documentation and club-to-club clearance are worked through.
• Fabrizio Romano reports Arsenal will decide within 24–48 hours on Porto’s proposal, and any Hincapié signing must be registered by Friday noon to face Liverpool.
