Barcelona and Manchester City have been linked with Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin.
Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin could reject a contract offer from the club, according to The Times.
It has been reported that Bellerin could leave Manchester City next summer.
According to the report, the Gunners have offered the right-back a five-year deal that would almost double his wage of £50,000-a-week.
Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing the Spain international defender, and so are Pep Guardiola’s City.
However, The Times claim that sources close to the 21-year-old insist that Bellerin’s preference is to join City where he will be reunited with Guardiola.
Bellerin worked with Guardiola when he was at Barcelona’s La Masia youth set-up.
The Spaniard left Barca for Arsenal in 2011 and has established himself as a first-team regular for the Gunners.
The youngster has featured in seven Premier League appearances for the Gunners so far this season, creating seven chances in the process.
During the 2015-16 campaign, Bellerin scored one goal and created 22 chances in 36 league matches for Arsenal.
Arsenal are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 16 points from seven games, just two points behind leaders City.
