"Unless something changes in January" - Fabrizio Romano provides fresh transfer update on Barcelona summer signing 

Barcelona defender Hector Bellerin is set to remain at the club till the end of the season after holding positive talks with his agent. That's according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims that Bellerin, 27, wants to remain at the Camp Nou.

Moreover, Barcelona have confirmed that unless there's a change during the January transfer window.

The Spanish right-back joined Barcelona from Arsenal in the summer on a free transfer.

However, he has struggled for game time, making just five appearances across competitions, only three in the starting lineup. Barcelona boss Xavi has often opted to use either veteran Sergi Roberto or versatile Jules Kounde in the right-back role.

Bellerin has also suffered a muscular injury that his plagued the first half of his debut season with the Blaugrana. He arrived in Catalonia from an impressive loan spell with Real Betis in the 2021-22 campaign. The Spaniard made 32 appearances, providing five assists as Manuel Pellegrini's side lifted the Copa del Rey.

He signed a one-year deal with the Blaugrana after realising that his place in the Arsenal team was in jeopardy. The Gunners had Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White vying for the starting berth as the side's right-back.

Busquets appears to want out of Barcelona and to head to the MLS to join Inter Miami.
