“The club has agreed Arsenal take it or leave it bid and he’ll sign 5-years deal today”: Transfer expert confirms Arsenal last minutes bid for the most dangerous attacker had been accepted and player will join today

Arsenal has not yet formally approached Real Sociedad about signing one of its top players, El Diario Vasco, a Spanish publication, reports.

The Gunners have reportedly finalised terms with Mikel Merino and intend to sign a new midfield player during the current transfer window.

It is only a “matter of time” till he moves to the Emirates Stadium, however the club has not yet made an official move to sign him.

The 28-year-old’s contract includes a £52 million release clause, but because he is in the last year of his agreement, the Gunners are aware that he might be lured away for £26 million.

Merino might sign with Arsenal soon.
The summer transfer window has been quiet for the London titans. Only David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori have been added to their roster.

After the team placed second in the Premier League for the second consecutive season, much more was anticipated. We think there might be a lot going on this month.

With Emile Smith Rowe’s recent departure to Fulham, the club’s leadership created room and money that they might potentially use to get Merino from Sociedad.

The responsibility for negotiating a fair transfer fee to capture the Euro 2024 winner lies with the Gunners, as the Spanish star has already granted his approval for a move.

Merino seems like a good addition for the central midfield position on the left. In the 2023–2024 season, he emerged victorious in the most duels among the top five leagues in Europe.

In the last third, he showed remarkable ingenuity, recoveries, and tackling. The former Newcastle United player finished the season with eight goals and five assists.

Given that Merino hasn’t ruled out moving to Barcelona, Arsenal will need to intensify their pursuit.
