Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin has been tipped to move out of the club at the end of the 2020-21 season, according to various reports in England.
The right-back has come up through the ranks at the club and this season he has managed to play in eight Premier League games despite suffering a series of injury setbacks.
Serie A clubs like Inter Milan and Juventus have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old over the past couple of months but as per ESPN, the full-back has chosen to snub a move out of the club.
James Olley is claiming: “As the club’s Professional Footballers’ Association representative, Bellerin spoke on behalf of the players in the club’s pay cut negotiations — a conversation which became strained as some felt pressured into accepting a reduction.
“The burden weighed heaviest on Bellerin as he felt caught between doing what’s best for the players and recognising the wider financial realities of the club but sources have told ESPN he is fully invested in coach Mikel Arteta’s vision for the future.
“Arsenal will have to improve on the pitch if that is to remain the case but it seems likely for the time being that Inter Milan, Juventus and the rest will have to wait to lure Bellerin away.”
Will Hector Bellerin look to leave in the summer?
Bellerin has seen very little game time this season but most of it has been due to his injuries. So clearly he has no reason to be upset with his new manager.
Plus, unlike the left-back role, Arteta has very few options at right-back meaning the Gunners boss will be not too keen to entertain any transfer request for the Spanish international.
Also, this is not the first season where Hector Bellerin has been linked with an exit from Arsenal but all these years he has remained loyal to the club.
So, there’s absolutely no reason to believe that the right-back will look to head out this summer, more so when Mikel Arteta is planning to reshape the look and feel of the first-team squad.
