Fran Merida Verbally Agrees To Sign New Deal With Arsenal
UPDATE: According to Arsenal’s official website, Arsenal midfielder Fran Merida has agreed to sign a new deal with the club but has yet to sign. Boss Arsene Wenger said,
“He has an offer that he has agreed and he has not signed yet … Some clubs are doing work behind our back to destabilise him … We cannot stop them but it is a fact.”
November 4th, 2009 According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal starlet Fran Merida might possibly move on to Atletico Madrid after the season. Merida’s contract ends at the end of the season and he’s yet to accept an offer made by Arsenal. His agent Joseba Diaz said,
“We only have an offer from Arsenal but Fran Merida has an illness, for want of a better word, and that is Atletico Madrid and you can’t do anything about that.”
“It started in 1996 when Atletico won the league and the Copa del Rey. He slept on red and white sheets, he followed Atletico whenever he had the chance … Even when he was with his family he wore a gold ring with the Atletico badge stuck on it.”
