The wolf has been warning for three months, but it has not arrived. According to MD Gipuzkoa, Arsenal contacted Real last May to express their interest in Mikel Merinowith the announcement that during the summer transfer market they planned to make an offer to the club for the player. For the moment, this proposal has not reached the offices of Anoeta, where they are aware that there have been contacts between the London club and the midfielder.
It is expected that this offer will be made before the market closes, scheduled for August 30 for both La Liga and the Premier League. And the ‘gunner’ club knows what the threshold could be from which Real would accept an offer: around 30 million euros, slightly less than what Atlético de Madrid offered for him, a proposal rejected by Mikel MerinoHis release clause is 65 million euros and he has one more year on his contract.
However, the forecast as of today is that Merinoif nothing changes, will play in Friday’s friendly in Berlin against Union and will be in the starting eleven in the opening league match on August 18 against Rayo in Anoeta.
