Merino’s Real Sociedad and Spain team-mate Martin Zubimendi is believed to be eager to join Liverpool, with Manchester United understood to be targeting the likes of Sander Berge and Youssouf Fofana as midfield alternatives having failed to close a deal for Manuel Ugarte. Chelsea will announce the £34.5million signing of Samu Omorodion after a medical and are now close to a shock deal for Pedro Neto at Wolves too having also signed Mike Penders. Gabriel Mec could be next as Conor Gallagher heads to Atletico Madrid along with Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez.
