Mikel Merino, interesting alternative plan for Barça for its midfield

The FC Barcelona has clear that to happen to the following level the next season is very necessary fichar a mediocentro that balance to the team and complement well with the 'jugones' that there is in the centre of the field. The favourite seems that it is Amadou Onana, but the Everton asks 60 million euros by him and in the Barça do not have at all clear that this summer go to be able to face an operation of so high cost by a player that still is a 'melon' for opening.

It is by this by what in the club explore other more affordable options, as it could be for example Mikel Merino, to the that the Catalans follow from does some years. In 'Sportive World' ensure that the Barcelona have in his diary to the mediocampista of the Real Sociedad, that although has a clause of 60 'kilos', finish agreement in 2025 and could go out by enough less. It seems that he is opened to remain in San Sebastián and the donostiarras want that it follow, but the renewal is stagnated for the moment and if the picture barcelonista touched to the 'door' of the navarro all could change.

In the Real have clear that the continuity of the ex of the Newcastle is a priority, but are not had to throw the house by the window. It seems that the blockade of all finds in the economic appearance and, although the Barça is not in the best economic situation possible, surely yes can pay him more than the Basques. The greater obstacle to the signing in this case would be the price that put the blanquiazules, since although they would ask less than what stipulates his clause, neither will give it. With I last it that it is Jokin Aperribay, realistic president, his traspaso hardly would cost less than 30/40 millions.

Mikel Merino, a 'todocampista' with qualities to play of pivote

To sportive level, Merino would ensure immediate performance, since his level in LaLiga with the Real has been very high these last years. It is a total midfield player, very able to play in the base of the played like mediocentro, but also like interior todoterreno, that is the place that more has occupied in the picture donostiarra. The Barcelona would want to him more like pivote, but would not have to have any problem so that it adapt to this position, since it was the place where exploded in the Newcastle and has spare conditions to surrender very well here.

Mikel is a player with a good physicist, aggressive with balloon and without him and has a lot of route. Playing of interior steps a lot the area and has good arrival, having marked this course already 7 goals. Nevertheless, what more interests him to the culés is how can exert of pivote and here, thanks to his good command of the ball and to his ease to find to the free mate, can give him a lot to the Barça. Besides, by his mentioned physicist is a lung and defensivamente also could contribute enough, in spite of not being a specialist. Also it fits to stand out of him that is accustomed to play in a Real that always wants the balloon, something that in the Barcelona is basic.

Although the navarro would not be a signing mediático and would not do that the culés gave a big jump, yes would improve a lot of what there is now, since it is quite better player that Oriol Romeu, that in theory went to be the one who more played of mediocentro, and that Andreas Christensen, the 'patch' that has invented Xavi Hernández these last months. With 28 years that will fulfil in June, the one of Pamplona would arrive in full sportive maturity, after having been key in a big Real Sociedad and after having settled with Spain, with which seems that it will go to the Eurocopa.
