Barcelona is intensifying its efforts to enhance its squad as the new season approaches, focusing not only on attacking reinforcements but also on strengthening its defensive line. Reports from ESPN indicate that Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié is once again under consideration by the Catalan club.
The 24-year-old Ecuadorian international moved to Arsenal from Bayer Leverkusen last summer; however, his future at the Emirates is uncertain and has become a topic of speculation. In response, Barcelona’s management has sought information regarding Hincapié’s current situation and the conditions under which a potential transfer could occur.
Financially, the deal for Hincapié is estimated to be in the region of 52 million euros. While there have been no formal negotiations between Barcelona and Arsenal thus far, the interest in the player is generating significant buzz in the transfer market.
Notably, Hincapié has previously attracted the attention of Barcelona, as the club contemplated securing his services back in 2025. This renewed interest in the versatile defender signifies the ongoing ambition of Barcelona to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
