Real Sociedad are preparing to lose star midfielder Mikel Merino, who is getting closer to joining Arsenal. The 28-year-old will need to be replaced, and although he is working on a deal with Paris Saint-Germain for Carlos Soler, he is not the only player being sought.
In addition to Soler, La Real are chasing Luka Sucic, who currently plays for RB Salzburg. He will not be playing for the Austrian champions for much longer, as Diario Vasco (via Relief) have reported that the 21-year-old is close to becoming the third player to move to the Real Arena this summer.
Real are well aware of Sucic, having faced them twice during last season's Champions League group stage. He is more similar in profile to Brais Mendez rather than Merino, although he is left-footed, which is a positive.
The Royal Society Business should pick up in the coming weeks, as the funds for Merino will soon add to those received for Robin Le Normand. Sucic will certainly not be the last signing made this summer.
