Arsenal transfer news and rumours: Hector Bellerin torn over Barcelona move
All the latest Arsenal transfer news and rumours from across the British and European press on Thursday, June 15.
Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez has claimed full-back Hector Bellerin is torn over a move back to the Spanish giants and cannot make a decision on whether he wants to leave Arsenal.
The Daily Mirror reports Barcelona are looking for a new right-back having failed to find a suitable replacement for Dani Alves, who left last summer for Juventus.
Suarez is „hopeful“ Bellerin will join Barcelona and reports in Spain claim a bid could be forthcoming during the U21 European Championship.
The Independent says Arsenal remain absolutely determined to resist any Manchester City or Premier League offer for Alexis Sanchez this summer.
And there’s more good news for Arsenal as German newspaper Bild reports Bayern Munich have given up on signing Sanchez.
They have apparently turned their attention to Atletico Madrid forward Yannick Carrasco after being put off by Sanchez’s wage demands.
The Chilean reportedly wants £22m-a-year to leave the Emirates.
Kylian Mbappe will hold talks over his future with Monaco on Thursday, according to French newspaper L’Equipe.
They say the teenager striker will inform Monaco of his intentions amid interest from Real Madrid and Arsenal, who reportedly had a £87m bid rejected earlier this summer.
L’Equipe report Monaco will not prevent Mbappe leaving should he want to go as long as their asking price is met.
