Fabrizio Romano claims that a deal has been agreed which will see Hector Bellerin’s return to Barcelona from Arsenal completed in the coming hours.
The defender hasn’t been considered a first-team option in north London so far this term, not even warming the bench in any of our five outings so far this term, with all of Ben White, Takehiro Timyasu and Cedric Soares ahead of him in the pecking order for the right-back spot.
Bellerin now looks set to complete a move to Barcelona, with Fabrizio Romano claiming that we are agreeing to terminate his current deal in north London with the Spaniard signing a one-year deal.
Hector Bellerín to Barcelona, here we go! Been told it’s all agreed, one year contract with NO option for further season. Bellerín will sign until June 2023 in the next hours. 🚨🔵🔴 #FCB #DeadlineDay

It seems a little crazy that we couldn’t find a better deal in order to allow the player to leave the club, having proved to a top player in previous seasons, but we just seem happy to rid our wage bill.
Has Bellerin blocked certain moves by his insistence on playing in La Liga? Would clubs really have been keen to avoid buying him from us?

Sky Sports reporting we have a sell on clause included but Romano says its 1 year contract which rules out Barca selling. What’s going on?
25% sell on clause is I heard. Goodbye Hector Bellerin. Once a goober always a gooner
Which means they learnt from d auba situation
Dhoni, “Once a Gooner, always a Gooner” is only true about fans. Not players!
SOME, but a minority of players, DO remain Gooners for life. Henry is one!
But that hackneyed phrase is lazy, cliched and generally speaking, untrue!
Just because SOME fans feel an affinity towards a departing player, does NOT mean its reciprocated, except occasionally.
Sorry to need to disillusion your rather romantic and naive view of how footballers think about their former clubs.
They might sell in January for a profit so that covers that window .
Why are we putting in a sell on clause, if he can’t defend and is being let go for free?
We won’t see any money from that sell on clause, trust me.he will either move back to Betis as a free agent once his 1 year contract runs out,or he will sign a new contract with Barca once this one expires which will void the sell on clause, simple as.
