Reports say Arsenal bought out Hincapié’s contract from Bayer for £34.5 million, with Piero putting pen to paper on a five-year deal with the North London club.

During the 2025/26 season, Hincapié played for Arsenal on loan. He made 39 appearances, scoring once and providing two assists—enough to convince the Gunners’ management to make the move permanent.

Piero Hincapié’s market value is estimated at €50 million by Transfermarkt.
