Bellerin hoping for Barca deal

Hector Bellerin's future promises to be one of this summer's long-running transfer sagas. It is understood that the 22-year-old is hoping that Arsenal will agree to let him re-join his former side, though he is well aware that negotiations will be far from straightforward.

The full-back is hoping to start next season with the Catalans and whilst he would like negotiations between the two sides to start sooner rather than later, Bellerin himself is currently away with the Spanish U21 side at the U21 European Championships.

Despite the lack of movement on the transfer front, there is one factor that seems to suggest that a move back to Spain is likely for Bellerin. According to 'Sport' the right-back's family recently moved back to Barcelona. The same source that has reported that Bellerin's parents recently packed their bags and made the move home also claims that Bellerin himself has bought a house on the Spanish coast.

This has aroused suspicions, as throughout his career so far Bellerin's parents have always been by his side, leading many to speculate that his future lies in Catalonia.

Despite the rumous, Bellerin has refused to comment, stating only that he is "completely focussed on the upcoming games for the Spain U21 team" and that he "is not thinking about anything other than the U21 European Championships".
