Lionel Messi believes that arch rivals Real Madrid may aim to bring Hector Bellerin to La Liga from Arsenal, according to The Express.
Manager of FC Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde, is doing extremely well in his first season at the Catalan giants, making his own squad of incomings such as Yerry Mina, Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho.
Valverde’s men are nine points clear at the top of La Liga, while arch rivals Real Madrid are in 4th place, 19 points behind the Catalan giants.
This means that they will try and revamp the squad in the same waythat Valverde did with FC Barcelona. And Barca’s star man, Lionel Messi, believes that Hector Bellerin could be heading to the Spanish capital.
Los Blancos, who are in a struggle domestically, trying to simply qualify for Champions League football and out of the Copa del Rey, have already been linked with Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea and Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain and formerly of FC Barcelona.
But Don Balon, the Spanish weekly sports magazine, claims Lionel Messi thinks that Hector Bellerin will swap the English capital for the Spanish capital, despite signing a contract extension at the Emirates last season.
Real are missing a right back, after selling cover, Danilo to Manchester City and Daniel Carvajal being the only number two at the club, and Bellerin could provide competition for that position at the Santiago Bernabeu.
