After completing the £ 67.5 million contract to sign a contract with Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace last weekend, Mikel Arteta's team is currently seeking to sign a contract with Piero Hincapie before the summer transfer period 2025 ends.
The 23 -year -old is an important member of Leverkusen who won a double domestic double under Xabi Alonso, and also attracted Tottenham's attention. Hincapie is said to have agreed on personal terms with Arsenal, and the Gunners are still negotiating with Leverkusen on the transfer fee to this Ecuador player.

Bayer Leverkusen responded to Arsenal's suggestions for Piero Hincapie. |
However, Kicker and Bild both reported that Leverkusen would not accept the lower price of Piero Hincapie's contract release clause of 60 million euros (£ 51.8 million). The source added that Leverkusen is aware of the backlash that they will receive from fans if Hincapie is sold at a cheap price.
Arsenal is now said to be considering the offer to lend Hincapie, including the obligation to buy for 60 million euros (£ 51.8 million). Leverkusen is having an advantage in negotiating when Hincapie has just extended the contract until 2029.
Hincapie is said to have informed Leverkusen that he wanted to leave before the summer transfer closed, this player burst into tears after the 1-2 defeat to Hoffenheim. Up to this point of summer, Arsenal has spent more than £ 250 million for 7 new contracts.
