Bellerin already has Xavi's approval to leave Barca

Hector Bellerin has already packed his bags. The 27-year-old Spanish right-back has decided to leave Camp Nou in search of the playing time he is missing as a Barcelona player. 

Barca are reportedly awaiting a call from Sporting CP, who are reportedly interested in signingthe former Arsenal player, whose contract expires next summer. 

Bellerin has taken the difficult decision due to his lack of opportunities at the Catalan giants, something that Xavi Hernandez has understood perfectly. This is according to the newspaper 'Sport', which speaks of the Catalan coach's approval for the former Betis player to leave Barcelona. 

According to the aforementioned media, one of the basic requirements for Barca and Sporting CP to begin formal talks for the transfer of the right-back was the approval of the coach, and Xavi, as the head of the first team, has been in charge of giving it. 

Bellerin's desire to try his luck in Lisbon, after the player himself told him so at the end of last week, was not hindered by the coach.
