Real Betis hand Arsenal £5m transfer ultimatum as Edu faces last-minute test to rescue reputation

A stalemate has emerged between both Arsenal and Real Betis regarding the potential departure of Hector Bellerin. Despite interest and enquiries from other clubs, the full-back has only one destination in mind, Betis.

With one year remaining on his deal, Arsenal want to make some money on the player’s departure. However, with the La Liga side in financial peril, they are hoping that the Gunners terminate the full-back’s contract.

This has not been uncommon with Arsenal considering under technical director Edu. The Brazilian has cancelled a number of high-profile contracts after reaching a financial agreement with the players and their next clubs. Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left without receiving a fee.
