Arsenal reach agreement for Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad

Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement with Real Sociedad for Mikel Merino, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg on X. The Gunners have agreed for a €33.5 million amount plus another €5 million in add-ons as Merino is on his way to the Emirates stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s side had been working on Merino deal since late 2023 and the player also had his heart set on the move after talks with Arteta himself. Now, the Spaniard is set to join the north London side on a four-year deal with the option of extending it by another year too.
