ASYD: @FabrizioRomano: “Atletico Madrid & Barcelona are still thinking of Mikel Merino, but both clubs feel that Merino is giving total priority to Arsenal. Merino is in the list [of targets] for Arsenal, very high on the list.”
“At the moment, there’s been no direct contact with Real Sociedad, no concrete negotiations, but it could happen soon because Arsenal are having a very positive exchange on the player’s side.”
“The player is tempted by the Premier League, tempted by Arsenal & very tempted by Mikel Arteta, who is considered the perfect coach for him by people close to the player.”
