Hector Bellerin is heading back to London following a loan spell at Betis, at least temporarily. The Spanish side will try to retain him, but it is far from a guarantee they will manage. Arsenal request a sizeable fee, plus the fullback has significant wages.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus, Inter, Roma and Fiorentina are keeping tabs on the situation. They could make an offer down the line if Los Verderones failed to bring him back. The Gunners ask for €10M, while the 27-year-old earns €4M. He tallied 5 assists in 32 appearances last season.
The Italian sides have touched base with his agent. Bellerin has just one year left on his contract with Arsenal. The Bianconeri could have a hole at right-back if they offloaded Juan Cuadrado. Fiorentina are seeking a new starter since Alvaro Odriozola returned to Real Madrid. Roma need an alternative to Rick Karsdorp as they will not keep Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The Viola and the Giallorossi are also both very keen on Lille’s Zeki Celik, ReteSport informs.
Instead, Inter seem poised to win the race for Raoul Bellanova, Sportitalia informs. They are nearing an agreement with Cagliari on a €9/10M fee. On the other hand, Denzel Dumfries is a candidate to be sold to turn in a profit, Calciomercato informs. Bayern Munich and Manchester United are eyeing the Dutchman.
Our Take on the Bellerin Links to Serie A Sides
Another window, another instance where the Spanish fullback is supposedly on the radar of Italian clubs. Juventus and Inter were said to be after him in the past, but he never seemed particularly close to joining. All four sides could use Bellerin, who bounced back in La Liga, although the odds of it happening do not seem particularly great for various reasons.
