Gabriel’s position at Arsenal is uncertain as the Calafiori transaction nears completion.
It has been reported that Merino has given his approval for a transfer and has reached an agreement on personal conditions with Arsenal. Subsequent to our previous news indicating that the negotiations were anticipated to be effortless, it was revealed that the Spanish footballer is highly interested in transferring to the Emirates.
However, Arsenal has not yet submitted an official proposal to Real Sociedad for the midfielder, who will be a free agent next summer and will not require a large number of money.
It is clear that this situation will not alter until the Gunners successfully sell Emile Smith Rowe, who is on the verge of completing a transfer to Fulham worth over €40 million.
Merino offers a cost-effective answer.
Merino’s contract status has made him a desirable commodity in the market.
With only one year remaining on his contract, other teams have considered the Spaniard as a viable choice. However, Arsenal has promptly solidified their interest.
