“We have decided to let him join Arsenal, as he does not want to resume training…”But let the public know that I will not be held accountable if Arsenal ends his career. Club manager confirms £89 million superstar will join Arsenal, but warns the club may wreck his career.
Arsenal is on the verge of finalizing a deal to acquire Mikel Merino following Real Sociedad’s unsuccessful last-minute attempt to renew his contract. The Spanish midfielder, who garnered significant attention with his performances at Euro 2024, has been a primary target for Arsenal. Although the club has recently concentrated on signing Riccardo Calafiori, their interest in Merino has remained unwavering.
Sports Witness reports that Real Sociedad extended a new contract offer to the 28-year-old midfielder, which he declined. This decision has significantly bolstered Arsenal’s chances of securing his transfer to North London.
The report suggests that Arsenal’s proposal has persuaded Merino, bringing the club close to completing the signing. While some minor details still need to be finalized, Arsenal is nearing the end of their long-standing pursuit of Merino.
Merino is regarded as one of the premier midfielders in La Liga, and his addition is anticipated to be a valuable enhancement to Arsenal’s squad, providing increased strength and depth.
