Arsenal has given Hector Bellerin the green light to leave them this summer as he continues to struggle for playing time.
The Spaniard is one of the oldest members of Mikel Arteta’s side, but his future is uncertain amidst interest from teams around Europe.
He has a long-standing interest from Barcelona, but the Spaniards will now have to compete with Juventus and PSG to sign him.
Arsenal seems to be preparing for life without him because Arteta has been fielding Calum Chambers and Cedric Soares more often than him in recent weeks.
Calciomercato says he has emerged as a serious target for Juve as the Italian champions rebuild their team.
It reveals that the defender has held talks with the Gunners about his future and the club has given him the go-ahead to find a new team.
Although Arsenal poached him from the Barcelona academy when he was still a youngster, the report says the club hopes to make around 20-25m euros from his sale.
Bellerin has served Arsenal well, but he truly has lost the explosiveness that we knew him for during his early days as an Arsenal player.
With his contract running down, it would be smart to sell him for around 20m euros in the summer.
I dont know if Inter want to sell him but Hakimi would be a great replacement for Bellerin. Maybe sell Lacazette in return (linked with Inter)
I don’t get why this Hakimi to Arsenal rumour keeps popping up?
I get that Inter have big financial problems, but from the player’s perspective, he’s about to win the league, CL football again next season. Cannot see one single reason he’d come to Arsenal, unless we offer him stupid money.
Would love him though. Really wanted us to sign him, when on loan at Dortmund, but Bellerin was our man! Haha
Give laca for exchange with Hakimi and bring Ordison to replace him money for Belerine can solve striker problem especially Ordoi.
I’m expecting Bellerin to play tomorrow night.
The teams that can afford Bellerin don’t want him and the teams who want him can not afford his salary let alone a fee.
In this covid ravaged debt ridden climate Arsenal would have to slash the asking price by 70% or Bellerin would have to take a 90% pay cut.
Will either of those options happen?
Juve only took Arsenal’s Ramsey because he was free. Now since Ramsey has been an abject failure they can’t get rid of him because of his grotesque salary so would they make the same mistake with Bellerin whose best days are behind him following injury?
Ozil Ramsey Sanchez have all left for free with the club losing mega millions. Bellerin Lacazette Pepe Aubameyang Guendouzi Saliba Torreira Gabriel Partey Xhaka Mari Tierney Willian Martinelli Cedric Mavropanos Niles Willock Nelson Nketia and others are all set to do the same by running down their contracts to ensure a decent Willian retirement package at their next club.
Even winning the EL may not help especially if the club plays hard ball on transfer fees and the players refuse to take pay cuts like Ozil during the covid break
Not only would it be “smart” to sell him for “around 20m Euros”, it would be a miracle. When I was young man the rag and bone man used to give us fourpence for OUR old rubbish.
I supppose he is a still middle aged(in football terms) rubbish, so perhaps a fiver would be value now.
He is worthless imo, THOUGH WE WILL GET SOME SORT OF FEE. MIRACULOUSLY! Can’t wait to see the back of him personally. NEVER been remotely able to defend at all.
