According to the latest report from well-known transfer journalist Romano, English Premier League powerhouse Arsenal are closing in on the signing of midfielder Merino from Spanish soccer club Real Sociedad. The two sides are said to have held in-depth negotiations on the transfer and are close to reaching a verbal agreement.
Romano is reporting that Arsenal have agreed personal terms with Merino and that the 28-year-old midfielder is positive about a move to Arsenal. There has also been significant progress in negotiations between Arsenal and Real Sociedad, with both sides in verbal discussions around a transfer fee of over €30 million with a view to finalizing the deal.
According to a report by journalist Moretto, Arsenal has made a verbal offer containing a fixed transfer fee of 30 million euros and a floating clause, which is close to the psychological price of Real Sociedad, and the two sides are expected to reach a formal agreement soon.
Merino, an experienced midfielder, has shown excellent technical and tactical qualities during his time with Real Sociedad. He not only performed well in club matches, but also made 7 appearances on behalf of the Spanish national team in this summer's UEFA Europa League and contributed a goal to help the team win the championship successfully. The addition of Merino will undoubtedly add more vigor and strength to Arsenal's midfield.
With the transfer market heating up, Arsenal are actively seeking opportunities to strengthen their squad. The addition of Merino will not only improve the team's midfield strength, but also bring more tactical options and changes to the team. We expect Arsenal to complete this deal successfully and achieve even better results in the new season.
