Per Revelo, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are among the teams chasing after his signature.

Any club can sign him for that modest fee, but Arsenal will have to convince the player to join.

They will have to give him a reason to move to England, where he was previously homesick at Newcastle United.

Merino is a player Barca can afford, unlike Athletic Bilbao and Spain star Nico Williams.
