Fabrizio Romano, renowned football transfer expert, revealed on Monday morning that Arsenal will make Piero Hincapié’s move permanent in June.
The deal, initially structured as a loan for Financial Fair Play (FFP) reasons, was always intended to be a permanent transfer, mirroring the club’s previous acquisition of David Raya.
Arsenal will reportedly pay Bayer Leverkusen €52 million for the Ecuadorian defender, with an additional 10% sell-on clause included in the agreement. This news solidifies Hincapié’s long-term future at the Emirates Stadium, much to the delight of the Gunners’ faithful.
