BREAKING NEWS: “We’ve ultimately agreed to let him join Arsenal, as he refuses to return to training. However, I want to emphasize that I won’t be held accountable if Arsenal negatively impacts his career,” the club manager stated, confirming the £89M superstar’s move to Arsenal while cautioning that the club might jeopardize his future.

Arsenal is nearing the completion of signing Mikel Merino, a move precipitated by Real Sociedad’s failed attempts to extend his contract.

Merino has made a name for himself as one of Europe’s elite players, particularly shining during his tenure with Spain in the Euro 2024 tournament. This stellar performance has made him a top priority for Arsenal, who have been fervently working to secure his transfer.

Despite also pursuing Riccardo Calafiori recently, Arsenal’s interest in Merino has remained strong. During this period, Real Sociedad made efforts to keep Merino by offering him a new contract.

However, Merino was reluctant to commit and eventually declined, significantly increasing Arsenal’s chances of acquiring him.

According to Sports Witness, Arsenal’s proposal has been compelling, placing them in a favorable position to finalize the transfer. While the deal may take some time to conclude, it appears that Arsenal is on the brink of adding Merino to their roster after persistent efforts.

From an Arsenal perspective, the addition of Merino, one of the top midfielders in La Liga, would be a substantial enhancement to their squad. This development is highly promising for the club’s future prospects.
