Barcelona target Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin as potential Dani Alves replacement

Barcelona target Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin as potential Dani Alves replacement

Barcelona will firm up their interest in Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin this summer should Dani Alves accept a lucrative offer from the Chinese Super League.

Guangzhou Evergrande have reportedly tabled a huge contract offer to the Brazil international, who is considering ending his eight-year spell at the Nou Camp at the end of the season.

And, according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will try and lure Catalan-born Bellerin away from north London if Alves decides to leave in the summer.

Aleix Vidal is currently the second choice right-back at Barca and Luis Enrique is keen on giving him a chance to fill Alves' shoes before considering a swoop for Bellerin.

Arsenal are unlikely to listen to any offers for Bellerin this summer but the 21-year-old may ask to return to his homeland if Barcelona make a concrete bid.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in the Spaniard but it is understood only a return to Barca would tempt Bellerin into leaving the Emirates.
