Real Sociedad President Admits Talks With Arsenal For Spain Midfielder Merino
Real Sociedad President Jokin Aperribay: Real Sociedad President Jokin Aperribay has confirmed that the club are still negotiating the future of Spain international midfielder Mikel Merino with Arsenal. The 28-year-old was left out of the team for Real Sociedad's 2-1 opening day defeat at home to Rayo Vallecano and when asked about his absence, Aperribay admitted the club had taken the decision "that Mikel wouldn't be in the squad, because he wishes to leave."
Merino is in the last year of his contract with the San Sebastian-based club and Aperribay says he doesn't want to sign a new deal, reports Xinhua.
"When we met with Mikel to renew his contract, he said that he feels very close to the club, but if a team from the Premier League came, and he named two or three, he wanted to fulfil his dream of going back there and to be successful."
