BREAKING NEWS: The club manager confirmed that the player will join Arsenal since he won’t return to training but warned that he won’t be responsible if Arsenal harms his career.
Arsenal is nearing the signing of Mikel Merino after Real Sociedad failed to extend his contract. Merino, recognized as one of Europe’s top players, particularly shone for Spain in Euro 2024. His impressive performance has made him a priority for Arsenal, which has been working hard to secure his transfer.
While Arsenal has also been interested in Riccardo Calafiori, their focus on Merino remains strong. Real Sociedad attempted to keep Merino by offering a new contract, but he was reluctant to commit and ultimately turned it down, increasing Arsenal’s chances of signing him.
According to Sports Witness, Arsenal’s offer has been compelling, positioning them well to complete the transfer. Although the deal may take time to finalize, Arsenal seems close to bringing Merino into their team after persistent efforts.
For Arsenal, acquiring Merino, one of La Liga’s top midfielders, would be a significant boost to the squad. This development is promising for the club’s future prospects.
