Clear way for FC Barcelona! The president of Real gets 'wet' with Mikel Merino

The Real Sociedad prepares to lose to one of his referents this summer. During the presentation of Javi Galán, the mandator donostiarra Jokin Aperribay 'wetted' on the situation of the mediocentro in the radar of the FC Barcelona and others 'big' of Europe. The footballer of 29 years, still on holiday after the Eurocopa, has kept to the margin of the rumours, but seems had to negotiate his exit in brief.

"I think that Mikel has been very sincere with the Real. Has an offer of renewal from does a year and if it has not renewed is because it did not want to say him to the fans of the Real 'remain me for afterwards go me', and think that this speaks well of him", explained the president 'txuri urdin'. The footballer finish agreement in 2025 and, for the moment, Barça, Athletic of Madrid and Arsenal are the most interested in ficharle.

In this sense, Aperribay was clear on the posture of the Basque group. "To me it would like me that it did not go , to all would like us, but, if it says us that any of the offers that has on the table accepts it and wants to that we negotiate, will do it. We know that it has them, besides we know them. But in this moment follow with the hope that Mikel Merino was still in the Real", commented the president 'txuri urdin'.

For the Barça, the one of Pamplona is one of the ideal options for the place of defensive pivote, although the operations by Nico Williams and Dani Elm are prioritarias for the Barcelona directive. The good Eurocopa of the mediocentro of 29 years opened his options of market and, in principle, the Real can ensure 30 million euros by his traspaso, a reasonable price of agreement to his current value and the length of his agreement.
