Juventus is one of the teams interested in Mikel Merino

Mikel Merino, Robin Le Normand, Martin Zubimendi, and others have all been connected to exits; among these, the latter is perhaps the most likely. Merino's current La Real contract expires at the end of the next season, and a renewal is not currently imminent. It may imply that he will be available this summer. Juventus is one of the teams interested in the Spanish international midfield player; according to Tuttosport, the Italian powerhouses have increased their pursuit of the player in recent weeks.

Merino has a €60 million release clause, but Juventus thinks they can work out a deal with La Real for between €40 and €45 million if a new contract is not signed before the summer. Merino has drawn interest from Atletico Madrid in recent months, so it's possible that they are keeping an eye on the issue as well.
