Arsenal FC are starting to warm up their engine in the race for Real Sociedad’s midfielder, Mikel Merino. Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona are interested in the player but neither has made a definitive move, setting the stage for the Gunners to make their pitch to the player.
According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are wrapping up the deal for Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna before moving onto Merino. The interest is there, but they have yet to make their move. It’s expected that Arsenal will start having conversations to sign him later this week.
