Following Hector Bellerin’s loan spell at Betis, the Spanish side have never hidden their wish of signing him on a permanent transfer from Arsenal, and are set to try their best to keep the player.
However, as the summer window approaches, more clubs started being linked to the fullback. This week, we’ve already seen Fiorentina showing up as an alternative for him, and there’s now another Serie A side in the competition.
As reported by Calcio Mercato, Roma are now pursuing Bellerin, and ‘important progress’ has taken place ‘in the last few hours’.
With Betis not having the financial resources to buy him from Arsenal, the player’s agent is said to be ‘pushing’ him towards the Giallorossi.
It’s once again claimed that Bellerin would rather return to Spain, but at this moment, other destinations such as Roma are in ‘pole’ position.
Calcio Mercato claims the initial valuation for the transfer is €18m, but with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta not having him in his plans, then the Serie A side could end up landing him for less.
