Hector Bellerin's move to Real Betis is reportedly 'on track' with his contract set to be terminated at Arsenal to agree terms to re-join the La Liga club.
The Spaniard spent the entirety of the 2021/2022 campaign on loan with Real Betis, and has been keen to return to the club with Arsenal seemingly moving on Takehiro Tomiyasu and Cedric Soares as their right-back options.
Spanish news outlet ABC de Sevilla had recently reported that Bellerin’s representatives are in talks with Arsenal to terminate his contract, while he will give up the wages Arsenal has to pay him. The report goes on to say that Betis will need to sell players first if they want to sign him.

And now, SportItalia reporter Rudy Galetti has reported that the move is on track, and is return is only a 'matter of time'.
Bellerin has been a good servant to Arsenal, spending 11 years at the club, but will now almost certainly leave the club within the next few weeks.
At the start of preseason for Arsenal, it seemed that keeping Bellerin at the club could be in Arteta’s thoughts. During Arsenal’s behind close doors friendly against Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon, Bellerin was assigned as the club captain.
But, his most emission from the Emirates Cup squad against Sevilla highlighted that a move away from the club could be just around the corner.
