Fulham considering winter move for Barcelona outcast – report

The spotlight has been on Memphis Depay this week, with the forward on the verge of joining Atletico Madrid on a deal worth around €3 million.

But there are other Barcelona players who are also in contention to leave the club in this ongoing January transfer window. One of them is Hector Bellerin, a player that has fallen out of favour under Xavi Hernandez’s setup.

Formerly of Arsenal, Bellerin has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Barça, featuring in only three league matches so far this season.

His struggles have led to speculations over his future, with many expecting him to depart in January. To that end, Fulham have been credited with an interest in the Spaniard, with the Premier League outfit considering him as a potential plan B in their bid to sign a new right-back, reports Catalunya Radio.

However, it appears Bellerin has no desire to return to England. This has been reported by Toni Juanmarti, who claims that the former Arsenal starlet does not want to return to the Premier League. The player’s plan is to continue at Barcelona until the end of the season.

Real Betis were one of the clubs to have explored a move for Bellerin earlier this January. But even the Spanish outfit appear to have backed out, paving the way for Bellerin to stay put at Barça.

However, it remains to be seen whether that will change the fortunes of the Spaniard, who has fallen behind the likes of Sergi Roberto and Jules Kounde in the pecking order and has failed to impress Xavi with his performances on the pitch.

If Xavi follows the status quo, Bellerin will continue to serve as the third choice right-back for Barcelona during the remainder of the campaign.
