The FC Barcelona works in which it could be one of the markets of signings more 'agitated' of the last years for the institution. The culés need to reinforce the staff after completing the past season in 'white', and while the names of Nico Williams and Dani Elm hoard all the focuses of the summer blaugrana, the option of Mikel Merino would be working in 'silence' for apuntalar the midfield.
In front of the impossibility to do with the services of Joshua Kimmich because of the high figures that handle in his operation, the footballer of the Real Sociedad consecrated like the preferred of Hansi Flick and the Catalan directive to give him a jump of quality to the medullary. The agreement of the navarro with the 'txuri-urdin' expires in 2025 and there are not news on a possible renewal, by what all aims to that will go out of San Sebastián during the present window estival.
In Can Barça see him like an option of market more than 'apetecible' and look for the way to incorporate him to the staff of the German trainer without seeing 'forced' to spend an important quantity of money, since the priority of the arks culés is in the operations of Williams and Elm. It spoke of a possible barter with some Barcelona footballers to recess the price of the traspaso, but exist doubts on the seen well of the Real to this proposal of the club and a rival of LaLiga would be winning terrain in the 'career' by the mediocentro.
Such is the case of the Athletic of Madrid, that would have the landing of Merino in the Cívitas Metropolitan like an absolute priority when being a request expresses of Diego Pablo Simeone. The player is an old wish of the 'Cholo', that never had had his dream so 'to the hand' as in this summer. Thus, the Indians would have wanted to include the index card of Mikel in the operation that will carry to Robin Him Normand to the capital, as it has informed the journalist Matteo Moretto.
The player prefers to expect
However, and in spite of the 'pressure' of the entity colchonera, the midfield player still has not initiated the negotiations with the rojiblancos, since it prefers to analyse well his options. The footballer does not have difficulty in resolving his future, and would be had to see as it evolves the summer before taking a definite decision, stage that suits in demasía to the Barça. Of the same way, the Arsenal also is to the expectation of what suceda with the pamplonés, although his destination seems that it will follow being in LaLiga, waiting for knowing with which T-shirt.
