With their starting striker, winger, center defenders, and central midfielder all signed, Barcelona madewaves in the summer transfer market. Their quest for a right-back, though, had notbeen as fruitful.
Xavi Hernandeztried and failed to get Cesar Azpilicueta, but they kept trying and eventually signed another defender. While they had hoped to sign Juan Foyth and Thomas Meunier, respectively, they were unable to do so owing to injuries and budgetary restraints.
The Blaugrana eventuallyfinalized the signing of Hector Bellerin, their fourth-choice right back. The 27-year-old Spaniardis well-known for having spent his youthyears at the Catalans’ academyLa Masia. The lack of playing time for Arsenalfrustrated him, therefore he departed the Premier League outfit.
Hector Bellerin’s contract with Barcelona
Although Bellerin still had a year remaining on his contract, Arsenaldecided to let him go for Barcelona for free.While the Gunners didnot get any compensation, the agreement does contain a sell-on provision giving Arsenal first dibs on the defender should Barcelona decide to move him in the future.However, the sell-on money may not be necessary, as reports indicate that the Spaniard has signed a one-year deal until June 2023at the Camp Nou with no option for an extension, albeit a new contract is possible.
How much willHector Bellerin make a week?
As a successor toSergiño Dest, Hector Bellerinaccepted a significant pay drop, with Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano suggesting that has lowered his previous income by more than 20percent. Spanish journalistGerard Romero has released more precise numbers, claiming that the defenderwould get a net of €3.5 million.
