From the source
Barcelona are considering a move to sign Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie as the club look to strengthen a depleted defence. Hincapie is a name on the club’s radar as Barcelona navigate a period without Andreas Christensen, Eric García and Xavi Espart.
The Ecuador international was a key part of Arsenal’s Premier League success last season, but has lost his place as a regular during the current campaign.
Hincapie has played just 46 minutes of Premier League football this season across four substitute appearances, with Riccardo Calafiori preferred at left-back. According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona are eyeing a move.
