News Britannia: Liverpool set to miss out on key summer target because of....Bellerin!
As Teamtalk reports, the La Liga giants could only sell their right-back for an offer in the region of £ 45 million as the former Sevilla man will be natural replacement of Dani Alves on the Nou Camp’s right-flank.
Barcelona are also interested in signing Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin, but the Spanish right-back has recently revealed that he wants to stay with the Gunners for now, forcing the blaugrana to keep Vidal and, in turn, Liverpool to miss out on one of their key summer targets.
