EPL: Barcelona eye £45m deal for Arsenal defender after Anthony Gordon transfer

Barcelona are interested in signing Piero Hincapie from Arsenal this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

The LaLiga champions are already bolstering their squad ahead of next season.

They have agreed a £70 million plus deal to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.

Barca are also keen to wrap up a deal for Atletico Madrid striker, Julian Alvarez.

Hincapie arrived at the Emirates from Bayer Leverkusen last summer on loan with an option to buy for £45 million and a 10 percent sell-on clause. Should they trigger the option, a five year contract is pre-agreed.

The 24-year-old has bedded in well at Arsenal proving a reliable member of the squad filling in at centre-back and left-back.
