"Barcelona are looking to improve the defensive unit, and they are keeping tabs on the Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie, as per Fichajes. The 23-year-old Ecuadorian is on loan at the Premier League club, but he has not been a regular starter for them. Arsenal have an option to sign him permanently for 45 million at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if they take up the opportunity."
"Barcelona need more quality in the defensive unit, and the 23-year-old could be ideal for them. If Arsenal do not sign him, they could have a free run at the player in the summer. He is versatile enough to operate across multiple positions, and he could be an asset for the club. The Spanish champions need more quality and depth in the team. Meanwhile, the South American will be attracted to the idea of joining Barcelona as well."
"The move will be tempting for him culturally as well as in footballing terms. Hincapie is highly rated across Europe, and he will want to compete at the highest level. He will want to play for clubs capable of winning league titles and the Champions League. Arsenal and Barcelona will be attractive opportunities for the player. He will be hoping to sort out his long-term future quickly and focus on his football."
Barcelona are monitoring Arsenal loanee Piero Hincapie as they seek defensive reinforcement. The 23-year-old Ecuadorian is on loan at Arsenal but has not been a regular starter, with just 701 minutes of first-team football in league and European competition. Arsenal hold an option to sign him permanently for 45 million at season's end. If Arsenal decline, Barcelona could pursue him in the summer. Hincapie is versatile across multiple positions and could provide quality and depth for Barcelona, while the cultural and competitive appeal of Barcelona would attract the South American defender keen to compete for league and Champions League titles.
