Coach Mikel Arteta has been keeping an eye on Merino since before the tournament started in Germany, aiming to strengthen his midfield.
The 28-year-old has featured in all seven of Spain's Euro 2024 games, mostly as a substitute. Mikel Merino scored the winning goal against Germany in the quarter-finals.
Exclusive sources from Telegraph said that Arsenal immediately started negotiations with Merino's representatives when Euro 2024 ended.
Last season, he was one of the most consistent performers in the Real Sociedad squad, and is a former teammate of Martin Odegaard.
Mikel Merino's arrival will add depth and quality to the Gunners' midfield.
However, Arsenal will face competition from several other rivals in the race to sign Merino.
Information from Spain says both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also interested in Merino - currently valued at around 20 million pounds.
In addition to Mikel Merino, Arsenal are also discussing the transfer of Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori. However, they have not yet agreed on a fee with Bologna.
The 22-year-old center-back has just made his mark in the Azzurri shirt at Euro 2024. Coach Mikel Arteta really wants to bring Calafiori in to strengthen the defense.
