“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 nearing a deal to sign Mikel Merino after Real Sociedad’s last-minute attempt to extend his contract failed. The Spanish midfielder, who impressed at Euro 2024, has been identified as a key target by Arsenal. Despite their recent focus on securing Riccardo Calafiori, the Gunners have consistently pursued Merino.
According to a report from Sports Witness, Real Sociedad recently offered the 28-year-old a new contract, but Merino chose not to sign it. This decision has given Arsenal a significant boost in their efforts to bring him to North London.
The report indicates that Arsenal’s proposal has convinced Merino, putting the club on the brink of completing the transfer. Although some final details still need to be worked out, Arsenal appears close to adding Merino to their squad after a prolonged pursuit.
Merino is considered one of the top midfielders in La Liga, and his potential addition is seen as a positive development for Arsenal, enhancing their squad’s strength and depth.
