Mikel MerinoAccording to Gerard Romero on Twitter, the second goal of the Blaugranas in the summer transfer window is Real Sociedad central midfielder Mikel Merino. "Barcelona sees the 28-year-old as a player who could compensate for the departure of Sergio Busquets.
"Barcelona is confident that it will be able to afford Merino's transfer, as his contract with Real Sociedad expires in the summer of 2025. The Basques can sell him for about 15 million euros to avoid losing him as a free agent next year.
