Arsenal full back Hector Bellerin is linked with a move away from the Emirates to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
Manchester United are in search for Antonio Valencia’s replacement as the United full back is believed to be slackening and will soon not be able to play in every match for the Red Devils. Jose Mourinho thinks Bellerin will be a perfect replacement for the Ecuadorian since he has Premier League experience.
The Spaniard is still under contract until the summer of 2023 with Arsenal and United will have to spend big if they are to land the star at Old Trafford.
The Arsenal right back has struggled for form this season and would want to look for a new challenge in other top clubs in Europe.
According to reports, Arsenal have placed a £52.5million price tag on Bellerin to put off teams who are interested in his signing.
Reports from Metro indicates that his agent Albert Botines admitted there have been contacts for Bellerin from top teams and that it is tough to negotiate since the player just renewed his contract with Arsenal recently.
‘There have been contacts for Bellerin. He is fine and he has just renewed and it is tough to negotiate because he’s doing very well for the team.’ He said.
Other teams that are interested in Bellerin signing are Barcelona, Juventus and Napoli and Albert just got praise for Napoli hinting that he 23-year-old will join the club if he moves.
‘Napoli is a club I know. I am a friend of Giuntoli. It’s a great club and its demonstrating it.
‘I follow Napoli a lot and is fighting against a team like Juventus.’ Albert said.
