Got legs: Lee RyderVerified account@lee_ryder 1h1 hour ago #nufc talking about a permanent deal for Mikel Merino. He has four years left on his Dortmund contract. Bundesliga Spotlight@BundesligaSpot 59m59 minutes ago Dortmund confirm Mikel Merino hasn't travelled with the squad for pre-season trip to Switzerland. Talks taking place with another club. #BVB
Just got to agree personal terms according to the Telegraph. Combative defensive midfielder with decent passing range. Daniel Pinder@DanielJPinder 2m2 minutes ago Looks as though Mikel Merino will be leaving BVB. Didn't travel with the squad to Bad Ragaz. NUFC getting an extremely talented midfielder.
Loving the Dortmund seal of approval, that might be the end to the samaris chase, which hopefully frees up more funds towards an AM/ST.
This transfer is moving fast - he's been spotted in Newcastle, leaving the Freeman so medical might be done. Mark DouglasVerified account@MsiDouglas 44m44 minutes ago We've had a first sighting....
Deal is meant to be an initial loan and we pay the permanent fee at the end of it. Cash flow must be an issue at the moment as predicted.
Great, l love it when transfers come out of the blue. It's by far the best way to operate. Here's hoping we get a few more surprises through the door.
