The 28-year-old and the club have already worked out personal terms, and it is now rumored that they are getting ready to make an official offer.

Sociedad has made a valiant effort to retain Merino by offering him a better contract, but it doesn’t appear like it will change his mind.

Their proposal is far less than what Arsenal is putting forward. Merino has also expressed his desire to visit the Gunners to Jokin Aperribay, the president of Sociedad.

Closer to the Merino Transfer Agreement is Arsenal.
For Sociedad for the previous six years, Merino has been an important player. In nearly 250 games, he has contributed 25 assists and 27 goals.

The Spaniard’s defensive contributions have also drawn attention. In the previous season, he became victorious in 326 of the top five leagues in Europe.

The champion of Euro 2024 seems like the perfect addition for boss Mikel Arteta. In central midfield, he and Kai Havertz may alternate.

Havertz is a more forward-thinking midfielder, although Merino can play just as well in the left central midfield position. During the previous season, he contributed 13 goals.

Merino has demonstrated proficiency not only in winning duel matches but also in recoveries and tackling. His defensive qualities can come in handy during the big games.

Although Merino’s contract includes a £56 million release clause, Arsenal hopes to sign him for just £21 million as he is nearing the end of his contract.
