Hector Bellerin will not be allowed to join Real Betis for free by Arsenal, even though the Spaniard is desperate to leave. The defender has one year left on his contract, but Arsenal are refusing to cut their ties with Bellerin and are demanding a fee.
That’s according to Estadio Deportivo, who state that the Gunners are unwilling to let Bellerin leave for nothing.
Bellerin comes from a huge family of Betis fans and has fallen in love since arriving from London last summer. Bellerin is not in Areta’s plans, but with transfer to be made, Arsenal want to raise as much cash as possible.
They are keen to receive a transfer fee for the Spaniard or would even consider a swap deal to allow Bellerin to join Betis, with a talented star coming the other way. And Bellerin is so desperate to leave, he is willing to drop his £100,000-a-week salary by more than half to secure a move.

“He knows everything I’ve gone through at Arsenal, my injuries, every single episode. I was very lucky that I could be open with him and we could have a talk where he understood fully.
“He said, “I want to help you”. Not just as a coach but as a friend. The respect we have as people is there and I was very happy that Arsenal gave me the opportunity to let me find what I was looking for.”
