# Barcelona confident of landing Bellerin

Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin has been linked with Barcelona for some time now, and the Spanish giants are reportedly confident of signing him.

According to a report today from the [Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-barcelona-hector-bellerin-bid-deal-offer-hints-at-exit-a7775311.html), the Catalan club are quietly confident of sealing a deal to bring Bellerin back to the Nou Camp for a fee worth £45m. This would be the highest ever for a right-back.

Bellerin didn’t have the best season for the Gunners and did come under some heavy criticism from his own supporters midway through the campaign. This has been a factor in prompting him to be reportedly keen on a switch to Barca this summer.

However, this year’s Copa Del Rey winners do have a backup plan if a move to sign Bellerin does fall through, with Benfica defender Nelson Semedo lined up as a potential new signing.

Arsenal will be keen to keep hold of Bellerin this summer but could struggle to ward off such a bid from a club as big as Barcelona.
