Héctor Bellerin will return to Barça

Héctor Bellerin is the chosen one. The fourth right back of the gunner team will stop at Barcelona in the next few hours to sign his new contract. Everything indicates that the Barcelona side will sign for a season. He will make him free after terminating his contract with Arsenal. His arrival will be certified after the other three options posed by the Blaugrana club have been dropped. On the podium was César Azpilicueta, who renewed with Chelsea until 2024. He was followed by Juan Foyth, Villarreal's Argentine winger who was finally ruled out after injuring his knee.

The signing of Thomas Meunier, a Belgian international currently at Borussia Dortmund, was also valued. But although Vice President Rafa Yuste traveled to Germany to try to close the operation, fair play is not enough for everything. With this scenario, Bellerín, who was willing to wait for Barça until the end, has become the most viable option in recent hours.

Formed in the lower categories of Barça, a club he left in 2011 when he was 15 years old to sign for Arsenal. His first professional contract with the London club was signed in July 2013 and he made his debut in official competition on September 25, 2013 against West Bromwich. In that game, he started from the bench and entered the field to replace Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's current coach, in the 95th minute. In November 2013 he went on loan to Watford to continue growing, returning to Arsenal on February 18, 2014 That season he established himself as the team's starter and by the time he was twenty he had already played 38 Premier League games.

In November 2016, he extended his contract with Arsenal FC. until 2023. However, his progression was cut short in January 2019 when he suffered a torn cruciate ligament that led him to remain out for more than nine months. The player had a hard time recovering from that hard blow. Especially psychologically.

Last year he was no longer in the plans of Mikel Arteta, substitute for Arsène Wenger, and the Gunner club loaned him to Betis. The player made an effort to join the Andalusian team and thus fulfill the wishes of his father, who is a self-confessed Betis fan. The season went well for Bellerín who played more than 30 games and left the Betis team fifth in the League in a historic season in which Betis was proclaimed champion of the Copa del Rey. It happens that the Andalusian club does not have enough fair play to sign him up and Bellerín has decided to return to the Catalan capital.

His arrival and that of Marcos Alonso are the only two additions expected on this last day of the transfer market. As for departures, Barça will close three. Aubameyang will head to Chelsea, Sergiño Dest on loan to AC Milan and Martin Braithwaite to Espanyol after having terminated his contract with the Blaugrana.
