Farewell could become ‘concrete option’ for Arsenal player if Arteta remains in charge

Arsenal’s Héctor Bellerín spent most of the last year away from the pitch after suffering a serious injury in January 2019.

The right-back returned to action last September and went on to make 13 appearances in all competitions this season. He’s also been troubled by a hamstring injury during the course of this season.

According to FcInterNews, the 25-year-old is included in Inter Milan’s summer transfer list.

It’s claimed the Spain international’s profile is appreciated by the Serie A club and the Gunners value him around €25-30m.

Antonio Conte’s side find his asking price ‘high’, but they are of the belief the figures are ‘accessible’ for them. However, the defender is not on top of their list and their priorities are to sign players for other positions.

The north London club’s defender has also been probed by Atlético Madrid and Sevilla in recent weeks, according to the claims.

FcInterNews state Bellerín’s case will be discussed in August ‘if necessary’ or when there’s more clarity on Arsenal’s future project. However, they end the report by stating the fullback’s farewell ‘could become the most concrete option’, if Mikel Arteta ‘remains’ at the Emirates.

This largely doesn’t make sense because Bellerín has featured regularly under Arteta, when he’s been eligible for selection.
