Aston Villa is actively pursuing Mikel Merino, a midfielder for Real Sociedad, as they prepare for the upcoming campaign. Merino has made an impression on many people during the competition.
He replaced Barcelona’s great player Lamine Yamal as he came off the bench for Spain in the latter stages of the Euro 2024 final against England.
The Real Sociedad idol participated in every game that Spain played in the Euros, even scoring the game-winning goal in extra time against the unfortunate hosts, Germany.

The Birmingham team is obviously developing a team capable of making it far in the UEFA Champions League the next season, and the Spanish midfielder is just one of several players they have their sights set on.
Numerous players, such as Ian Maatsen from Chelsea, Ross Barkley from Luton Town, Lewis Dobbin from Everton, Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus, have previously been signed by Villa.
The club are still lining up new faces including Jadon Philogene who is set to sign later today and Amadou Onana from Everton who is close to signing.
