Juventus have asked Arsenal about the possibility of signing Hector Bellerin and the Gunners are open to selling the former Barcelona starlet, according to reports.
Arsenal is overhauling their playing squad this summer and it is expected that quite a few players will be made available for transfer.
The Gunners have been busy in this transfer market but the money that they will spend will depend on the money they will also recoup from the sale of their own players.
Corriere Dello Sport claims that Juventus have enquired about signing Bellerin and the Gunners have told them that the Spaniard is available for sale if they can meet their asking price.
It adds that the Gunners want £27 million for the defender whom they poached from Barcelona as a teenager.
Bellerin has been one of the key members of the Arsenal team since he broke into the first team.
However, he suffered a long-term injury in the last campaign and the Spaniard has yet to return to his brilliant best pre the injury and he might be let go.
Only a few members of the current Arsenal team can command a decent transfer fee and Bellerin is one them.
Selling him for that price will help the Gunners raise funds for Thomas Partey who is their top summer target.
£27m sounds like a good deal for a player struggling to regain his best form and seems unsettled. Even better if it means AMN stays. If both get sold you can find me in a padded cell.
Truth is he isn’t worth 27mil plus i think Arteta will play three at the back in his preferred formation.
50million or no deal. To replace will not be easy.
Why do Arsenal always ask peanuts? We are hopeless at negotiations.
And why do we fans always overestimate the value of our players?
As much as some players have to go to create a good squad for bext season please don’t over sell. We need 2 old frontliners, 2 midfielders and 3 defenders. We can then introduce new once progressively
Arsenal fans demanding north
of £30M for an injury plagued
player that isnt even the best RB
on the team when fit and in form.
Arsenal shouldn’t think twice
about a Juve or PSG offer close to
there evaluation, there are better,
younger and CHEAPER RB’s all
over Europe.
Letting him go isn’t a bad ideal!! He has. Giving his best to the team. Now time to try some fresh legs!! Bravo Hector
Must be 35 million or no deal we always pay over the odds co why can’t someone else
He must be replaced if sold. Matt Doherty from Wolves would have been good. I hope he wont go to Spurs.
They can give us Matt +5 million, we give them Niles.
Sell Bellerin get your midfield repaired. Football manager style but seems possible to me.
Regarding your point Thomas, the reason is that some Clubs are well managed.
Valuations are so weird!
Papers been mooting at £40m for Gendouzi but Laca £30m and Bellerin £27m.
Nothing you read is true.
The only value that is true is the value a club is willing to pay.
AMN is £15m currently according to wolves, arsenal may consider £20m But it might be £17m that ends up being agreed (with add ons).
No rational clubis ever going to pay us thrporposed £27 mill for Bellerin It just won’t happen. Other clubs are not run by Gazidia, Wenger, and Sanllehi, all of whom have made many disastrous financial decisions in their time and about which we are now having to make many squad holes repairs on a shoestring . Easier said than done!
I have never undersoood how even now, some Gooners still rate this hopeless defender. Perhaps those fans are more impressed than I am by his modernity; social media , fashion, haircuts etc. Being old school, all those fail to impress me at all. I look, ALWAYS AND IN ALL PLAYERS, for first and foremost pure ability. Then dedication and a natural ability to remain fit and uninjured. He possesses NONE of those and I badly want him gone.
Nothing personal as he seems a decent lad but he is just not good enough. Never has been! I badly want him sold asap for the best price we can get but definitely OUT, at whatever price. We need proper defenders at this club, lots of them all across the defence and MA is already putting that right, bit by bit.
Sorry Hector, nothing personal but you are not of Arsenal, under MA, quality. Simple as that!
If Belarin goes, AMN has to stay, which is good news. Also with Soares around and AMN’s versatility, we can use the Belarin money to strengthen our midfield, get Partey and Aouar. Sell Elnany, Guendouzi, Socrates, Mhkhi and Holding/Chambers to get Partey and Aouar.
Even the fans on this site is clueless. Belleran defensive game improved so much not to mention his involvement in the final 3rd. to suggest even anything less then 40mil for Belleran is stupidity. Amn should not be sold at any price he’s just to important for this team anyone telling me other wise don’t know soccer. Laca another player that anything less then 50mil is idiotic even if he wasn’t scoring as much as he was the the season before when he plays his contribution don’t go Unnoticed at least not from me those who say we over value players don’t know soccer go sleep
If it’s true then Arsenal cannot value their players accordingly. £27mil is like giving away the player for free
Best RB in the club by miles and still young. Cedric is much less in defense and so AMN in RB.
My opinion 27£ is low unless you know a better replacement for less
I fully agree belleran starting to run with the ball at his feet and passing players with confidence something he didn’t do when he came onto the scene. He’s also become more involve in the creating of goals so I don’t know why 27mil is even being mentioned and why he’s up for sale in the first place. Look how he is also improving his communication. He went off at saka for not covering when he tucked in close and saka went to sleep which almost lead to a dangerous situation for Liverpool. So 27mil give it to me I’ll go spend it on chips
