OFFICIAL: Arsenal complete permanent signing of Hincapie for a total fee of €52 million
Official confirmation: Arsenal have completed the permanent signing of Ecuadorian defender Piero Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen.
As previously reported by Fabrizio Romano, Hincapié initially joined Arsenal on a loan deal with a mandatory buyout clause worth €52 million, set to take effect in 2026.
Arsenal Official Statement
We are delighted to confirm that we have activated the buy option to make Piero Hincapié a permanent Arsenal player starting July 1.
Piero joined us on loan from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen last season and was an indispensable part of our Premier League title-winning campaign.
The 24-year-old defender made 39 appearances across all competitions, emerging as a cornerstone of our defensive unit. Our backline has now conceded the fewest goals in each of the past three Premier League campaigns.
The Ecuador international began his professional career at hometown club Independiente del Valle, coming through their youth academy. He claimed his first career silverware by winning the U20 Copa Libertadores in 2020. That August, Piero made a move to Argentine club Talleres, racking up 22 appearances in his debut season there.

He has cost 34.5ml, and that’s a fact, he has a 5 year contract. A real bargain.
It’s €52m NOT €34.5m

Believe me or not, if man utd targeted Hincapie, they would paid more than €52 million. I don't understand whether the man utd board are bad negotiators or teams deliberately hike the prices of their players when man utd is asking to buy.

It’s just been confirmed that Hincapie has a 5yr contract with Arsenal, and the price is £34.5ml, a real bargain. He has been great for Arsenal and can play left C/B, L/B , and left of a back 3 which he plays for Ecuador.

That’s your own personal opinion mate, he’s been a great addition to our defence and he can play left C/B, L/B, or left of a back 3. He’s still only 24 . A good price in today’s inflated market.
