Arsenal Football Club has secured a significant transfer agreement with Real Sociedad for the highly sought-after midfielder, Mikel Merino.
Following two days of intense negotiations in London, the clubs have reached a mutually beneficial deal. Arsenal has agreed to pay an initial transfer fee of €32.5 million, with an additional €5 million in potential add-ons, solidifying Merino's move to the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Merino set to become Mikel Arteta second signing this summer. If you recall that Arsenal has officially welcomed Riccardo Calafiori to the team, signing the 22-year-old Italian defender on a long-term contract.
Calafiori, a member of Italy's Euro 2024 squad, brings valuable experience from his previous stints with Roma, Genoa, and Basel. Expressing his enthusiasm for joining the club, Calafiori has described the opportunity as a "dream come true." He will don the number 33 shirt for Arsenal, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his career.
These strategic signings demonstrate Arsenal's commitment to strengthening their squad and competitiveness, as they strive for success in the upcoming season. With Merino and Calafiori on board, manager Mikel Arteta has bolstered his team's defensive and midfield capabilities, setting the stage for a promising campaign.
