Barcelona’s interest in Hector Bellerin is getting serious as more Spanish media outlets cover it.
The right-back wants to leave Arsenal and the Gunners are also keen to allow him to go.
He spent the last campaign on loan at Real Betis and did well. However, Financial Fair Play is stopping them from re-adding him to their squad permanently.
This has opened the door for other suitors to move for him, but he might move to La Liga, eventually.
Barcelona has just failed in their pursuit of Cesar Azpilicueta of Chelsea and they need a new right-back.
They considered him their Plan B and will turn towards adding him to their squad now.
Sport reports that he is being considered because he has spent time in La Liga and they believe that makes him a good choice.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Bellerin is clearly not in the plans of Mikel Arteta and he is too good to rot on the Arsenal bench.
There is no guarantee that he would play more often if he moves to Barca, however, a change of environment might be what he needs to get back in love with the game.
It would be interesting to see if Barca can beat Betis to add him to their squad, but we have to offload him.

Hector Bellerin left the Barcelona Maisa accademy when he was 16 years old without playing a single game in La Liga.. So this post is absolute tosh and will not probably make it past your mediator
Ummm did you know that Bellerin played in la liga for the whole of last season???
Should I delete this comment for being absolute tosh? lol
The reason Barca are interested in signing Hector, is because they saw how he played last season.
They tried to sign him before, so this “Plan B” nonsense is a smokescreen, put in to try and devalue the player.
He is not in MA’s plans, that doesn’t make him a second class player – learn to respect someone who has been at our club for over a decade and been a model professional for goodness sake!!
Well said Ken.
Yes Bellerin is not my cup of tea but he has always given his best. I hope this can be sorted for everyones benefit.
Bellerin is a real flop let him go, also he porous in the defence. When overlapped he is easy to beat and score.
