Barcelona have dropped a major hint in their pursuit to sign Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin. The Catalans are interested in signing their youth product but Wenger is keen to keep hold of him.
“Arsene Wenger convinced him to move in 2011 and promised him something which we couldn’t,” said Barca vice president Jordi Mestre. “We could not promise him that within two years he would be playing in Dani Alves’ place.
“In many cases, it’s good that they leave to develop as players and then return with experience. Look at the cases of Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Denis Suarez.”
