Arsenal unwilling to release Hector Bellerin this summer

Hector Bellerin wants to join Real Betis permanently this summer.

The Spaniard has spent the entire last season on loan at his boyhood club Real Betis and has made 32 appearances for the club.

The defender has one-year left on his Arsenal contract and his heart is set on a permanent Betis return.

But Arsenal is unwilling to let him go on a free transfer this summer with Juventus, Inter Milan and Barcelona also interested in the 27-year-old.

‘I have made my position clear to both clubs,’ Bellerin told Betis TV last month. ‘Now we have two months to get the best deal for all three parties.

‘I have always said, I made an effort to come here and I am willing to make every effort to keep it going because it is my home and I am happy.

‘It is also true that I had very nice moments in London, in England. Arsenal has given a lot, the opportunity to be a professional. If I leave, it will be difficult, but hopefully everything goes as we want.’
