An FC Barcelona player has claimed that one of the Catalan club's main transfer targets told him he wants to join the Spanish giants.
'I've Got Better Technique Than Ronaldo'
Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin has been heavily linked with a return to Barca ahead of next season, with the club having struggled to replace Dani Alves in the 2016/17 campaign.
Denis Suarez, who, along with Bellerin, is part of the Spain U21 side that will take part in the U21 European Championship in the Netherlands, has now spoken about the prospect of the right back – who came through the Blaugrana's famous La Masia academy – rejoining the club, and said that the Arsenal man has told him he would like to return to the Camp Nou.
"I have spoken to Bellerin but it is not an easy situation because Arsenal trusted in him since he was a boy," Suarez told TV3.
"It is his decision, and Arsenal's decision. I really don't know what is going to happen but I wish he can come.
"Both Sergi Roberto and Aleix Vidal have had amazing seasons in that role but if, finally, Bellerin is coming, he would challenge with them to be picked in the starting line-up, but Bellerin and Roberto can play in other roles; it is not easy replacing the best right back ever (Alves).
"I have spoken to him (Bellerin) and from one side he wants to join Barca, but from the other he feels very attached to Arsenal. It is a hard situation and I am nobody to be speaking about this, but I wish he can come."
