Piero Hincapié to Stay Permanently with London Giants! Arsenal to Trigger €52 Million Option

Arsenal, continuing their title charge in the English Premier League, are shaping the future of Piero Hincapié, who is currently at the club on loan. The London giants are preparing to activate the buy option in the contract of the Ecuadorian center-back, who has become an indispensable part of the defense with his performances this season.

Having quickly adapted to Mikel Arteta's system and earned high praise, the successful defender's move will soon be formalized as Arsenal management fulfills the terms of the agreement made with German club Bayer Leverkusen.

Financial Details of the Agreement Leaked details regarding the financial scope of the transfer show that Arsenal have allocated a significant budget for this move. Deciding to use the €52 million purchase option included in the loan agreement, the English giants are determined to secure his permanent rights.

Under the terms of the deal, Bayer Leverkusen will not only receive a substantial transfer fee but will also make a smart move for the future. Per the contract, the German club will retain a 10% sell-on clause from the Ecuadorian center-back's next transfer.

5-Year Contract on the Way Following the activation of the option clause between the clubs, Arsenal have also laid out future plans with the 24-year-old center-back. Negotiations with the player's camp, who is already a part of the squad, went extremely well, and the parties have fully agreed on personal terms.

Hincapié, who brings great strength to the Arsenal defense with his left foot, pace, and playmaking ability from the back, is expected to transition from his loan status and sign a long-term 5-year contract with the London side. The transfer is stated to become official shortly.
