Interview with the Telegraph
Asked whether Bellerin harbours ambitions to still play for Barcelona, just as Fabregas did, the 20-year-old said: “I think that’s a wrong thought because if I wanted to be at Barcelona I would have stayed there.
“My challenge was to come to England and I came here with everything. I came here to stay and to cement my place in the first team, and be here for four more years.
“If I wanted to have played for Barcelona in the future, I would have just stayed there and made my way there. I made that decision when I was young to come over here and I’m not thinking about my future, I’m just thinking about playing for Arsenal and doing well.
“Barcelona tried to keep me. I was about to sign an agreement, we were in talks, when Arsenal told me they were interested in me. We spoke about everything and I told the people at Barcelona I didn't want to sign a contract, and I wanted to come over here.
“If I stayed there, I don’t know what I would have been. Some of my old team-mates play in the second division and they will probably get relegated. So being here, and playing in the Premier League and Champions League, I’m really happy I made that step.”
