Barcelona Eye January Move for Arsenal Defender Piero Hincapie
Barcelona want Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie in January, with sporting director Deco reportedly contacting the 24-year-old's agents. Here's what we know.
Barcelona are already planning for the January transfer window, and Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie has emerged as one of their targets as the Catalan club look to strengthen their back line.
Deco makes contact
According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Barcelona sporting director Deco has reached out to the representatives of the 24-year-old Ecuador international to explore a possible deal for the winter window. No formal offer has been reported so far, and neither Barcelona nor Arsenal have commented on the reports.
Why Hincapie fits
Hincapie is a versatile defender who can operate at centre-back or on the left side of defence, a profile that could appeal to a Barcelona squad seeking extra depth at the back. The key question is whether Arsenal, who are competing on several fronts in the Premier League and Europe, would be willing to let him leave in the middle of the season. For now, the move remains at an early, unconfirmed stage.
