Barcelona is going for Bellerin: agreed on Arsenal's departure and must join the club.

According to The Athletic, the defender, through his representation, spoke with the 'Gunners' board to secure his release. However, the English team found another way for them to have future economic benefits. In this sense, the Spanish player will go to Camp Nou as a free transfer.

On the other hand, journalist Gerard Romero revealed that Arsenal and Barcelona are in talks to add a clause in which the 'Gunners' have a percentage in a future sale. In this way, the defender is awaiting the green light to travel and undergo a medical examination.

Barcelona, Bellerín's first home

Once Bellerín completes all the corresponding procedures, he must sign a one-season contract, as journalist Fabrizio Romano reported. Although, Romero mentioned a deal for three seasons. The truth is that everything must be resolved before the transfer window closes.

Thus, the defender will fulfill the great goal of returning to Spain. Last season, he was on the roster of Real Betis. In fact, the Andalusians tried to permanently keep the defender, but they couldn't make room in the squad. This was exploited by the Azulgranas, the club where Héctor took his first steps in football.

With Bellerín, Xavi gains a man who has a certain identification with the club and, from a sporting perspective, arrives at Camp Nou at the best moment, as Sergiño Dest departs for Milan. Meanwhile, Sergi Roberto has had ups and downs and, on top of that, has been absent due to injuries that kept him off the field.

Which players did Barcelona sign in 2022-23?

Pablo Torre, Andreas Christhensen, Franck Kessié, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Jules Koundé have joined the Spanish team this year. In addition to these players, president Joan Laporta has extended the contracts of Ousmane Dembélé and Sergi Roberto.
