Barcelona are reportedly plotting a surprise move for Arsenal defender Piero Hincapié. According to the Daily Mail, the Spanish giants are seriously considering testing Arsenal’s resolve after the Ecuadorian impressed during his title-winning season in North London.
The 24-year-old has become a key figure under Mikel Arteta, helping Arsenal win their first Premier League title in 22 years and reach the Champions League final.
Barcelona reportedly want a left-footed centre-back, and sporting director Deco is said to be a big admirer. Arsenal hold a £45 million option to make Hincapié’s move permanent, but Barça are reportedly exploring whether a Camp Nou switch could still be possible.
