Real Sociedad's president is aware of potential offers for Arsenal and Barcelona targets.

Real Sociedad President Jokin Aperribay said that star player Mikel Merino has already received offers to leave the club. The 27-year-old has one year left on his contract and is poised to quit the club amid interest from Barcelona, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid. Merino's contract has not been renewed, and Aperribay confessed that this was a clear indication that he wanted to leave this summer. The Spain international's stock rose at Euro 2024, and Arsenal reconnected with his agency this week.

"I believe Mikel has been quite truthful with Real. He has received a renewal offer for a year, and if he has not renewed it, it is because he does not want to convince the Real fans that he is staying and then leaving, which I believe speaks good of him," Aperribay told the press, including Sport.

However, it appears that he is not yet interested in a move to Atletico Madrid, who attempted to sign him but Merino rejected their offer. However, if Real Sociedad is asked to negotiate with any party, they will do so. "I would like him not to leave; we all do, but if he tells us he accepts any of the offers on the table and wants us to negotiate, we will. We know he has them, and we know the specifics. However, we remain hopeful that Mikel Merino will remain at Real," Aperribay stated.

Merino has been linked with a move to the Premier League, but Football España claimed last week that the Basque midfielder will consider all options before making a final choice. How long he is willing to wait for Barcelona to make an offer could be the deciding factor, since they are currently concentrating on signing a star forward first.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own.

Botafogo won their first Copa Libertadores with a 3-1 victory over Atlético Mineiro. The all-Brazilian fight got off to a rousing start as Artur Jorge's team was reduced to ten men just 31 seconds in after Gregore was sent off for a high lunge on Fausto Vera. But the Estrela Solitária broke the deadlock with a sweeping finish from Luiz Henrique, who went on to win a penalty later in the half.
