Bellerin only signed a new six-and-a-half year deal with the Gunners in November, worth around £115,000-a-week.

Manchester City tried to snatch the 21-year-old from Arsenal last summer, but the Spaniard decided to stay out of loyalty and his enjoyment of playing under Wenger.

However, according to the Guardian, Bellerin would seriously consider leaving Arsenal should the manager leave – with other key men like Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil’s future also coming into question.

Ozil said as much when speaking to Kicker last month: “The club knows that I want to be clear what the manager is going to do [in the future].”

Wenger is under increasing pressure to leave the club he has managed for over 20 years.

He has a two-year extension on the table but will wait until nearer the end of the season before making his decision.

Barcelona hope to exploit that uncertainty to lure Bellerin back to the Nou Camp after a six-year absence.
