Atletico Madrid is taking advantage of Barcelona’s preoccupation with the Williams deal and is close to signing this player
These days, Barcelona is seeking to arrange its papers in order to enter the summer Mercato with full force to strengthen the ranks of the team that wants to regain its position again after a very difficult season that the Catalan team went through.
Barcelona fans and fans hope that German coach Hansi Flick will be able to restore Barcelona’s strength again and lead the team to the podiums that Barcelona has become accustomed to in recent years.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo: It is no secret that Barcelona considers Neco Williams to be the priority signing in this transfer market, and sporting director Deco is constantly communicating with the player and his entourage in order to obtain his signature as soon as possible.
The newspaper added: While Barcelona is focusing on Nico Williams, Atletico Madrid took advantage of this situation to sign Mikel Merino, one of Barcelona’s most important goals this summer, as Diego Simeone gave the board of directors the green light to begin negotiations with Real Sociedad.
The newspaper continued: “Mikel Merino is Atleti’s target in midfield, as Atletico wants to exploit Barcelona’s preoccupation with the Williams deal to pounce on the Spanish midfielder and sign him.”
The newspaper concluded that Mikel Merino, the Spanish midfielder, will now have to make a decision because FC Barcelona has already informed him of its interest in joining the team, but now Atletico Madrid is the club that will offer enough money to Real Sociedad to sell him, as it has already done so with Robin Le Normand. .
