‘World class’ player who Arsenal are keen to sign is now aware that Barcelona want him too
Arsenal may now have reason to act quickly if they hope to sign one transfer target in the summer window, with the player’s entourage now aware of interest from Barcelona.
Arsenal fans will probably be hoping that the end of Euro 2024 marks the start of the Gunners steppi꧑ng up their interest in several players, as Mikel Arteta’s men attempt to get across the line in the Premier Le♓ague title race at the third time of asking this coming season.
Arsenal are working on a mov♔e for Riccardo Calafiori after the youngster’s superb showing for Italy this summer, while they are also loo𒉰king at options i꧅n the middle of the park.
M📖ikel Arteta has reportedly spo𒁃ken with Mikel Merino about a potential move to Arsenal. But unsurprisingly, the Gunners ar꧃e not the only t🐻eam chasing his signature.
Arsenal target Mikel Merino aware of Barcelona interest
According to a report from , Merino’s entourage are aware of interest f꧟rom Barcelona, with the Catalan giants potentially looking into players they could offer Real Sociedad as ♐part of a move for the £21 million-rated midfielder.
The report notes that he is looking set to🐓 leave San Sebastián in this window, and it is suggested that he is waiting for Barca – which may come as a blow to Arsenal.
A potentially ‘world-class’ signing
Merino could prove to be an incredibly shrewd signing for the Gunners, particularly when you consider his reported asking price. He is someone Kieran Tierney has previously labelled ‘‘ with the pair playing together in La Liga last sea𒀰son.
Thomas Partey has shown glimpses of his quality, but has struggled to stay fit while in North London. Meanwhile, Jorginho turns 33 befo﷽re the turn of the year. So signing Merino to play alongside Declan Rice could prove to be a very smart piece of business.
But clearly, Barcelona are h💧oping to have the decisive say on🍸 his future over the coming weeks.
