Barcelona ‘to sell Hector Bellerin after just SIX MONTHS with ex-Arsenal ace set for transfer away from boyhood club’
BARCELONA are reportedly preparing to sell full-back Hector Bellerin after just SIX MONTHS at the Nou Camp.
The 27-year-old joined the Catalan giants in the summer after seeing his Arsenal contract ripped up.
But he has started just three games in all competitions as we head into the World Cup break.
And according to AS, Barcelona are already keen to move him on in the January window.
Xavi missed out on right-backs Cesar Azplicueta, Juan Foyth and Thomas Meunier ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
As a result, he eventually landed on agreeing a one-year deal for Bellerin as a low-cost solution.

However, his poor displays are set to see him booted out just six months after signing for his boyhood club.
Bellerin made 239 appearances for Arsenal, winning the the FA Cup in 2015, 2017 and 2020.
He has also received four caps for the Spain national team.
Roma have been linked with a move for the Spaniard – who spent last season on loan at Real Betis.

Jose Mourinho‘s men are keen to sell current right-back Rick Karsdorp.
And if they are able to offload the Dutch defender then Bellerin is being looked at as an ideal replacement.
They were previously monitoring Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot, but they gave up on him when he returned to the fold under Erik ten Hag.
