Marca: Rafinha could be used as bait in Barça's move for Bellerin
Arsenal are said to be fans of Rafinha's age and versatility
The Brazilian wants to leave Camp Nou for regular football
Rafinha could become a part of Operation Bellerin. That's what Marca have reported, saying that Barcelona are looking at all possible options which could help them sign the Arsenal right-back.
According to these reports, Arsenal consider the Hispanic-Brazilian a good player and someone they may be keen on. Meanwhile, Rafinha's desire to find regular first team football could see him leave Barça this summer.
Barcelona's priority is to sign a right-back and Bellerin is the first option. But the price Arsenal are asking -- they won't go below 30 million euros -- is considered too high by the Catalan club.
Therefore, they're looking at ways to reduce the fee. The inclusion of a player in any potential deal, such as Rafinha, is an option the club would be happy to do.
Bellerin, for now, has bought a house in Catalonia and his family have returned from London. He knows talks over the deal could drag on and that they may not even start until July.
