Bellerin has been looking to leave Arsenal for more than a year and is not part of Mikel Arteta’s plans moving forward.
But finding a club for him this summer has been difficult due to his high wages and Arsenal’s financial demands for a deal.
Real Betis have been in touch with Bellerin all summer but for the moment, they do not have space in their wage bill to accommodate the Spaniard.
A loan move to Betis is likely to be a difficult deal to do on deadline, but Bellerin is hopeful that an agreement could be reached.
The Spaniard is pushing for the move and a lot of dominos has to fall in place for the move to happen.
Betis need to find space in their wage bill and Arsenal will also likely have to agree to subsidise some of the defender’s salary for the move.
An option to buy is unlikely to be part of any agreement if Bellerin leaves Arsenal before the end of the window tonight.
