It’s a trend after every international competition: players from the champion team tend to increase in value and attract the interest of more prestigious or upscale clubs. The players from the Spanish national team are logically concerned this summer, especially those who did not yet have a huge media impact. Robin Le Normand, for example, has already joined Atlético de Madrid, while Dani Olmo is coveted in all four corners of the Old Continent.
There is also the case of Nico Williams, although the latest information published in Spain indicates that he should stay one more season at Athletic. Then, there is another player from this Roja who is popular: Mikel Merino, the hero of the quarter-final against Germany. The Real Sociedad midfielder may well imitate Robin Le Normand by leaving this summer.
Everything is wrapped up
He was also coveted by Atlético Madrid, just as Barça has often been presented as one of the clubs interested in his services. But everything indicates that it is towards Arsenal that he will go. On Wednesday, several media outlets already announced an agreement between the 28-year-old player and the London team. Relevo now explains that the Gunners have also reached an agreement with Real Sociedad.
The media explains that the transfer should be made official in the coming days, while the Premier League club will pay 30 million euros, in addition to various bonuses to recruit the player who has already played in the Premier League, with Newcastle during the 2017/2018 season, on loan from Dortmund. A nice reinforcement for Mikel Arteta’s midfield, who really appreciates the player. The European champion will also be reunited with his former teammate Martin Odegaard.
