Keep
The Real Betis has set its eyes on Héctor Bellerín to reinforce the right side of his defense. The 26-year-old Spaniard has two more seasons on his contract with him Arsenal but it is not counting now for Mikel Arteta and looking for a way out this summer. The Verdiblanco club has already contacted Bellerín’s agents and Arsenal to find out the conditions of a transfer with a purchase option so that the full-back can join the Verdiblanco club and cover the withdrawal of Emerson, who goes to Barcelona. It is still a complex operation due to the high salary of the footballer, one of Arsenal’s captains, and the interest of many other teams in his services, but Betis is trying to convince the parties and is moving forward in this regard. The side has a contract with the London club until June 2023.
Bellerín, who has been an absolute international with Spain four times, the last time last November, has played 239 official matches for Arsenal, scoring 9 goals and giving 29 assists, a club in which he grew after being incorporated in 2011 after standing out in the lower categories of Barcelona. Betis has probed the right-back market and finds in Bellerín a good opportunity to recruit a high-level footballer to a key position.
In this sense, the green-and-white club is posing various formulas to be able to sign Bellerín assuming a large part of his high profile and haggling the interest of other Spanish and international clubs that are knocking on the doors of Arsenal to be able to incorporate him. The effort that Betis can make and the word of the footballer, who has always expressed his affection for the thirteen bars club, will weigh a lot.
Born in Badalona, he has Betic roots since his father is a recognized Verdiblanco fan and the footballer has declared his feelings for the Heliópolis club on several occasions. “Live er beti is missing lose “, he put in a Twitter message attaching it with a photo with Dani Ceballos, with whom he has coincided this season at Arsenal.

In 2018 he already explained that «my first shirt was Betis, because my father was a fan of the Verdiblanco team. It was difficult for me to support another club. Bellerín had already indicated in 2011 that he would like «ever wear the Betis shirt at Benito Villamarín». Also through his Twitter account he showed his joy and congratulations to Betis in 2015 for their return to the First Division.
Betis preferences in the market
In the meeting of the sports commission, held last Monday, it was agreed that one of the priorities was the incorporation of Bellerín to reinforce the right-hand side. The Catalan’s conditions are ideal for the game of Pellegrini, who already faced him in his stage in the Premier League and who highly values his offensive ability and good balance. Bellerín’s speed is a very important quality in what Pellegrini asks of a full-back in his usual game system and that Emerson has interpreted it to perfection in this course.
We were already advancing in ABC of Seville that the positions that Betis first wanted to reinforce, once the goal is resolved with the incorporation of Rui Silva and the continuity of Claudio Bravo, is the right back and the central position. Has a series of lists of preferences the sports direction of Antonio Cordon to try to strengthen the team with the aim of playing a good role in the 2021-22 campaign with the three competitions that it must face after qualifying for the Europa League.
Bellerín is the main option at the moment to reinforce Betis’s right-handed side, since he meets the profile that Cordón seeks to improve the squad for Europe, but Betis is also aware of other players in case the operation does not materialize , mainly for economic terms, since Bellerín’s salary, captain of Arsenal in several games this season, is quite high for the current Betic possibilities. The desire, of course, of the footballer to return to Spain to help him see with good eyes a destination like Betis, which is a club that wants to grow in the coming years and that has proposed a very serious project to the player’s agent, but now more steps have to be taken with Arsenal.
