Arsenal star Hector Bellerin had interest from ‘six or seven clubs’ before signing a new deal at Arsenal and had one concrete offer from a club other than Barcelona, his agent has confirmed.
The Spaniard signed a long-term deal at the Emirates earlier this season but has had a mixed campaign in north London.
Bellerin left Barcelona for the Gunners when he was 15 and has been heavily linked with a move back to the Camp Nou since.
Manchester City are also believed to be interested in signing Bellerin and the defender’s agent has confirmed the Spaniard had an offer on the table after signing a new deal for the Gunners.
‘Before he signed his renewal there were six or seven clubs interested in him, and that made him understand he was doing the right things,’ Albert Botines told Goal.
‘After he signed the renewal there were only two or three clubs who kept up their interest in Bellerin, and I have to say I only received one offer for him and it is not from Barcelona.
‘I have read lots of things about this supposed interest from Barcelona but it has been a long time since the club last called me.
‘You never know what is going to happen in the future in the football world and of course he signed a renewal with a view to stay at Arsenal for a long time.
‘But you never know, maybe there’s a club who likes him and things change. I can’t guarantee anything about the future but the natural thing would be for him to stay because he has signed a renewal.’
