BREAKING NEWS: Coming Live from Fabrizio Romano, “we as a team are happy to announce the signing of another Mikel (smiles) we have been seriously working on this for some time now and I’m happy it’s finalised. I think Mikel Merino is a good replacement for him [Granit Xhaka], I watched him closely in the Euros and against PSG in the Champions League last season,”**HERE WE GO🚨** Arsenal have agreed on a deal to sign Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad, per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Spanish midfielder is set to sign a contract until 2028 for a reported €32 million and €5 million add-ons.

Arsenal fans are buzzing with excitement following the news that the club has agreed on a deal to sign Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Merino will join the Gunners on a contract running until 2028, with the transfer fee reported at €32 million plus €5 million in add-ons.
The transfer, which has been in the works since July, comes after Merino’s standout performances for Spain in Euro 2024, where he notably scored the winning goal in the quarter-final against Germany. Fans have taken to social media platform X to express their enthusiasm about the signing. Reactions include declarations like “WE ARE WINNING IT ALL” and “Arsenal will be Champions this season,” reflecting the optimism among the supporters. One fan even commented on the value of the deal, calling it an “insane bargain.”
The excitement is not just limited to Arsenal fans; even rival fans have joined the conversation, adding to the banter surrounding the new signing.
However, not everyone is entirely sold on the move. Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit previously expressed his reservations about Merino’s potential fit at Arsenal. In an interview, Petit acknowledged Merino as a good replacement for Granit Xhaka but questioned whether the Spanish midfielder could adapt to the physicality of the Premier League. Petit also suggested that Arsenal should have considered signing N’Golo Kante instead, emphasizing the Frenchman’s versatility as both a holding midfielder and a number eight.
Despite Petit’s concerns, Arsenal fans are eagerly anticipating Merino’s arrival, and many believe his addition will strengthen the squad’s chances of competing for major titles this season.
