Barcelona 'offered' chance to sign Arsenal star on free transfer this summer

Barcelona could sign Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin this summer if recent reports are to be believed.

The Gunners are keen to offload a number of fringe players before the transfer window shuts on September 1, with the likes of Bernd Leno, Lucas Torreira and Pablo Mari already leaving the Emirates Stadium in recent times. Right-back Bellerin also appears to be on the chopping block after falling down the pecking order during Mikel Arteta 's tenure in the managerial dugout.

The Spanish international spent last season on loan with La Liga outfit Real Betis and he continues to be linked with a return to the Benito Villamarin Stadium. Now, Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo have reported that Barcelona have been offered the chance to sign the veteran fullback for free, although Betis remains the player's preferred destination.
