Arsenal have been handed a boost in their quest to keep hold of full-back Hector Bellerin after reports emerged detailing just how precarious Barcelona's finances are.
Arsenal's Spanish full-back, who has previous ties to Barcelona, has been strongly linked with a move back to his native country.
However, according to reports in Spain (relayed by Football London), the Gunners could see the La Liga giants fail in their pursuit due to a major financial crisis.
It has been reported that Barcelona's debt has reached a level believed to be within the region of £800m.
Not only has the club suffered unprecedented financial damage at the hands of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, rivals Atletico Madrid's early exit from this season's Champions League has meant they've missed out on another £1.7m.
According to these reports, when striker Luis Suarez was sold last summer, Barcelona agreed that should buyers Atletico Madrid match their rivals achievements in the Champions League, they'll be due another £1.7m.
However, following Chelsea's dismantling earlier this week, Diego Simeone's men have been sent crashing out at the competition's first knockout stage.
