Barcelona are looking to get rid of former Arsenal star
Former Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin signed for Barcelona on a free transfer during the summer transfer window. The Spaniard, however, has found it hard to adapt to life in Barcelona. He has made only five appearances under Xavi so far.
According to the Mirror, the Catalan club are looking to offer Bellerin as part of a swap deal for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
Bellerin had a long stay with the Gunners, making 239 appearances for the club. He also had a loan spell at Real Betis last season.
A La Masia product as a youngster, Bellerin made a return to Camp Nou in the summer. However, he has failed to make a positive impact so far and is yet to convince the club's hierarchy. While Bellerin's contract runs out next summer, his stay at the club could be cut short if a solution can be found.
