Juventus are eyeing Real Sociedad’s Mikel Merino ahead of next summer’s transfer market. The Spanish midfielder, an established pillar in the Basque team, has attracted interest from the Italian giants, who are looking to bolster their squad with his talent.
The 27-year-old Merino has proven his skills at Real Sociedad for more than five seasons, establishing himself as a key player both nationally and internationally. With experience at clubs such as Osasuna, Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund, as well as the Spanish national team, the midfielder is in his footballing best moment.
Juventus wants to sign Mikel Merino
With three goals and five assists so far this season, Merino has been central to Imanol Alguacil’s game plan, acting as a midfield leader in a total of 29 games. Despite Real Sociedad’s desire to extend his contract, Juventus have emerged as a possible threat to the player.
However, the €50 million price set by Merino represents a major obstacle to the Vecchia Signora’s plans. Although the Italian club’s interest is obvious, the player’s future could largely depend on the development of contract negotiations with Real Sociedad.
With the risk of rumors increasing if there is no progress on extending Merino’s contract, the Spanish midfielder’s future remains uncertain. As the summer transfer market approaches, Juventus and other potential suitors are expected to closely monitor the situation of the talented Real Sociedad player.
