FC Barcelona has indicated Mikel Merino as its preferred signing for the midfield. However, the culés want to close the arrivals of Nico Williams and Dani Olmo beforehand, so they have not yet made a move for the Navarrese. Arsenal, on the other hand, have already sent him their first offer to sign him
Reinforce the mediocentro is one of the big pending accounts that has the FC Barcelona from the exit of Sergio Busquets. However, by ones or other reasons the culés still have not been able to do the big investment that would demand a signing 'top' for the position, and everything indicates that this summer neither will be the moment. The group barcelonista is fully centred in closing the signings of Nico Williams and Dani Elm, by this order of preference, and leaves the reinforcement for the centre of the in a second flat field.
With Amadou Onana already in the Aston Villa and having descartado also to Joshua Kimmich by an economic question, from does weeks the best planted to arrive to the Camp Nou is Mikel Merino. The midfield player of the Real Sociedad finish agreement in 2025, is not by the work to renew and so much in his years in San Sebastián as in the Eurocopa has showed to be a player of first level. Thus, the blaugrana would want to take advantage of this opportunity of market to do with this polyvalent mediocampista, able to do a bit of everything in the medular.
However, the fact of not having to the of Navarra like his greater priority could cause that the Barcelona finish losing the occasion of ficharle. For the Arsenal, on the contrary that for the Catalans, the 'realistic' is an arrival prioritaria that has sued Mikel Arteta. Thus, the 'gunners' carry a time working in his incorporation and as they aim diverse sources, even would have commanded him already a quite seductive offer to convince him that 'happen' to expect to the Barça and play in London the course that comes.
Mikel Merino, tempted to accept the offer of the Arsenal
Although it came informing that Merino did not want to precipitate and wanted to expect to the culés, lor true is that the footballer would be quite satisfied with the proposal londinense. It seems that Arteta wants to give him an important paper in the team, economically would see definitely improved his current index card and, besides, knows very well to the that would be one of his mates in the midfield, Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian played with the Spanish during the season 2019/2020 in the Real and both did good 'crumbs' so much in the personal as in the futbolístico.
Therefore, they finish of soltar all the alarms in the FC Barcelona, since if the Barcelona do not move in the next days could lose this possible signing. The problem for the barcelonistas is that until they do not return to the rule 1/1, something that predictably will occur along this week, will not be able to pose his arrival. And even after going back to this norm, Nico Williams first and Elm afterwards, are by in front of Mikel, by what if the navarro for real sees seduced by the Arsenal, will be very difficult to attain that it expect to that the culés have money and margin to tackle his incorporation.
Right now, as they are the things, the Barça has to hold on to that the 'gunners' still do not have an enclosed agreement with the player and that neither have it with the Real Sociedad. In fact, still there would be negotiations between the English and the Basques, by what the operation is not near to close . Still like this, the ones of the City Condal have to know that all could change in the next days, by what suits to be attentive to this interest.
