Barcelona are launching a loan offer for Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin.

Marca says due to financial troubles, Barcelona would prefer to seal a temporary switch rather than stump up a sizeable fee.

Arsenal recognise that any substantial fee for Bellerin will allow them to further reinvest in the current window.

This stance means the club are unlikely to be interested, with figures keen to collect a significant sum in return.

Any rejected loan approach could see Barcelona return and attempt to fund a direct transfer, although they are understood to be unlikely to be able to spend over €25million (£23m).
