Jose Mourinho is hunting for a new right-back for AS Roma and the Serie A giants are ready to step up their interest in a Barcelona defender.
According to Calciomercato, Mourinho’s side are eyeing a move for Hector Bellerin, who has fallen down the pecking order.
The Spanish international’s imminent future has been a subject of speculation, and he could leave Camp Nou in January.
In addition, Bellerin’s injury issues, too, have not helped him much.
The Barcelona academy product has started just one match in La Liga and perhaps, the time has come up to embark on a new challenge. That is where the interest from AS Roma appears.
Rick Karsdorp is unlikely to be involved further following his recent fallout with Jose Mourinho, and Roma need to find a solution as soon as possible.
Barcelona’s current financial situation is a mess. And in an order to bring stability, they need to offload some of the players in their books.
It is suggested Roma will ask to remove Bellerin’s price tag and will ponder a free transfer for the player as long as the player is convinced to join the Serie A giants.
Barcelona would manage to free up a lot of wages by letting Bellerin leave the club, and it could be a win-win situation for both parties.
Mourinho quite likes the Barcelona defender and will offer him an opportunity to revive his fortunes under his guidance.
