The Spanish giants have kept a close eye on Bellerin since he left the club in 2011.

He played for Barcelona’s youth ranks from 2003 until 2011 before moving to the Gunners.

Paris-Saint Germain are among the clubs interested in signing him this summer.

But Arsenal reportedly rejected a loan bid from the French side this week.
