Paris Saint-Germain reportedly offer Arsenal £25m plus £5m in add-ons for right-back Hector Bellerin, who is under contract at the Emirates until 2023.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly tabled a £25m bid for Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin.

The 25-year-old was a key player for Mikel Arteta's side in the latter stages of the 2019-20 campaign and turned out 23 times in all competitions despite his injury woes.

However, Bellerin's future at the Emirates has been called into question on a couple of occasions, and the Spaniard is said to be a man in demand ahead of the new season.

According to The Guardian, PSG have submitted an opening offer of £25m plus £5m in add-ons for Bellerin, who is under contract in North London until 2023.

The report also suggests that the Ligue 1 powerhouses are likely to face stiff competition for the defender's signature, with Bayern Munich and Juventus both in the running to sign Bellerin this summer.

Arsenal recently bolstered their defensive ranks with the acquisition of Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille and will most likely need to ship out more players before they can buy again, but Arteta supposedly wants to keep Bellerin on the books at the Emirates despite the need to generate funds.
