There’s a new twist in the Hector Bellerin transfer saga as Arsenal are reportedly open to sending him out on loan to Inter.
Both Sky Sport Italia and SportMediaset report the Gunners have given their green light for Bellerin’s loan move to Inter this summer.
Sky Sport suggests the Spaniard can join Inter on loan with an option to buy, but the Gunners need to sign a replacement first.
As per SportMediaset correspondent Matteo Barzagli, the 26-year-old could even move to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on a dry loan deal.
Bellerin’s agent met Arsenal directors yesterday, trying to convince them to send his client out on loan.
