Paris Saint-Germain in talks with Arsenal over £30m deal for defender Hector Bellerin and confident of signing Spaniard
Paris Saint-Germain are increasingly hopeful of signing Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin.
talkSPORT revealed in July that the French giants were interested in landing the 25-year-old from the Premier League club.
Bellerin is understood to be keen on a fresh challenge
There has been regular contact between the two clubs over the last week with the French giants lodging an £25m offer, which includes £5m in add-ons.
Bayern Munich and Juventus are also tracking the Spain international, who has three years left on his remaining deal at the Emirates.
Mikel Arteta is ready to listen to offers for a number of his players this summer as he looks to fund an overhaul of his squad.
In an ideal world Arteta would like to keep Bellerin, but he needs to raise funds to bring in more players and could reluctantly be willing to let his fellow Spaniard go.
Perry Groves is confident that Aubameyang will sign a new deal at Arsenal: I’m not overly worried
Bellerin is open to leaving north London and is understood to be keen on a move to the Parc des Princes.
Arsenal have so far signed WIllian on a free transfer from Chelsea and Gabriel from Lille for £27million, while Dani Ceballos is set to return on loan from Real Madrid.
But Arteta is seeking a number of further recruits and Bellerin’s sale could help fund moves for two of his top targets – Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey and Lyon playmaker Houssem Aouar.
Bellerin’s departure means Ainsley Maitland-Niles would almost certainly stay at the club.
The 23-year-old has been the subject of interest from Wolves this summer but could now become Arsenal’s first-choice right-back.
