Mikel Merino’s exceptional performances for Real Sociedad in La Liga and his standout displays for Spain in Euro 2024 had caught the eye of top clubs this summer. With just one year left on his contract, Arsenal, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid were all eying to secure the talented midfielder’s services.

Recent reports suggest that Arsenal has surged ahead in the race to sign Merino, having tabled a substantial €30 million (£25.5 million) offer.

According to sources at CaughtOffside, Merino’s representatives called Barcelona “to test ground one last time and finally thank them for their interest” – but the club is clear that is signing is NOT a priority and it is considered very expensive.

In addition, Fabrizio Romano has added weight to these claims, indicating that Merino’s move to Arsenal is nearing completion and could be finalized in the coming days.
