Barcelona Set Deadline For Bellerin Deal; Arsenal Not Ready To Budge

Barcelona have a huge task in their hands this summer as they will have to work really hard to improve their squad and help them beat Real Madrid to a couple of titles next season.

The Catalan giants, however, have a huge task in their hands as they have already replaced their manager and will have to add some serious talent to their squad this summer.

Barcelona has replaced Luis Enrique with Ernesto Valverde for the next few seasons and the new manager already has some serious plans for his Barcelona side next season.

The former Atletico Bilbao manager is determined to improve a number of areas in the squad and one player constantly linked with a move to the club is Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin.

A product of the La Masia academy, Bellerin was a target for Enrique as well, last season, but just like this summer, Arsenal are reluctant to sell as the Spaniard is the first choice at the Emirates next season.

The youngster joined Arsenal back in 2011 and took his time to establish himself in the first team at the club but it is understood that he is keen on a move back to Spain, especially to his boyhood club.

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo also claims that he has told his friends that he wants to move back to Barcelona, but none of that seems to be bothering the Gunners, who are not ready to let him go.

Bellerin, who is currently playing in the U21 European Championship, only signed a new contract at the end of the previous year and will cost insane money for his suitors.

However, reports suggest that Bellerin’s agent Albert Botines is understood to have met Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu, sporting director Robert Fernandez and club director Raul Sanllehi over a move this summer.

The report also states that Barcelona are not ready to wait too long and will make a move in the next 10 days. They are ready to move on to other targets if a deal does not materialise in these 10 days.

The Catalan giants want Bellerin as a replacement for Dani Alves as the likes of Sergi Roberto and Aleix Vidal have failed to cement a place in the first team.

So the Spaniard could be the right man to establish himself in the first team at the Camp Nou, at right back, for years to come.
