In the next days, Arsenal will formally announce their offer for Mikkel Merino.

Noticias de Gipuzkoa claims that Arsenal will formally bid to sign their top midfield target in the coming days.

Mikel Merino has been selected by the Gunners as their top target in their search for a new central midfield player this summer.

The Real Sociedad player has already agreed to personal terms with the team, so Arsenal just has to work out a transfer deal.

According to Noticias de Gipuzkoa, Arsenal and Merino’s group are “apprehensive” about Liverpool’s interest in Martin Zubimendi.

Both of them are “afraid” that Sociedad would be hesitant to let go of two midfield players this month and might even prevent one from departing.

Arsenal will formally submit a serious offer to sign Merino in the

Despite Merino’s contract expiring in the summer, which has a £56 million release, his entourage is hoping Sociedad won’t seek more than £21 million.

ARSENAL MUST QUICKLY GET OVER THE MERINO DEAL
Riccardo Calafiori is the only outfield addition the Gunners have made this summer, but there may be more before the transfer window closes on August 30.

Arsenal must submit a formal bid before Sociedad considers keeping the Spaniard because Merino has already approved the deal.

They are currently trying to persuade Zubimendi to sign a new, long-term contract in light of Liverpool’s interest. Should Merino choose to decline and sign with the Reds, Sociedad might be hesitant to let him go.

If Arsenal signs Merino, they can escape the circumstance.

Last season, the Spaniard recorded an incredible 10.2 duels per game in addition to 2.4 tackles and 6.4 recoveries. Additionally, he contributed an amazing 13 goals, beginning in the middle of the park.

Although he might not be the Gunners’ everyday starter, he might be used in midfield when the team needs more defensive confidence. He must be signed by Arsenal before the new season begins.
