'ESPN' reports that Barcelona and PSG have pulled out of the race to sign Arsenal's Hector Bellerin. Only Juventus remain in the hunt and the Italians may make a bid for him in the summer.

Juventus are the last club standing in the race to sign Bellerin. Neither Barcelona, currently in an institutional crisis after Josep Maria Bartomeu's arrest, or PSG will try and buy him. This is according to 'ESPN'. That means Juventus could get him.

As his contract runs until 2023, BeSoccer Pro estimates his market value at 22.8 million euros. He is enjoying a lot of importance under Mikel Arteta so the board will have no reason to reduce that price if they decide to sell him.

The good news for the Italians is that there are no other interested parties as of now. That lack of competition means the price should not be pushed up too much. PSG and Barca, especially the former, seemed stiff opposition for the Serie A outfit.

For the meantime, Bellerin is focussing on the Premier League. He did not play in the fightback against Leicester City, but he was part of the 3-2 win over Benfica in the Europa League. That was a huge victory for the Gunners.
