GeordieDazzler Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Is he actually being sold?? Nothing apart from a Marca report and a few various Spanish twitters, as said before its just that he's Basque and theyve just got 60m from City.

I fully expect him to be sold tbh, and if so it will be the absolute last straw. Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongMag Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Chronicle quoting AS as saying Bilbao are attempting to negotiate a deal but Rafa trying to block it.. "Athletic is still very interested in the acquisition of Mikel Merino, but Rafa Benítez is trying to stop a negotiation. The club negotiates for the midfielder of Newcastle and go with everything, although the dates reduce the margin to sign a substitute in the British club. It is the third attempt of the club for the versatile midfielder, who can also play in central midfield. Benitez stepped in and said: “There’s nothing, you’re not going anywhere.”" - From: https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-deadline-day-live-14222550 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Even FMA wouldn't cash out one of our decent players against the wishes of Rafa with no non-ginger replacement in sight, would he? Hopefully just lazy journalism but it's got all the hallmarks of an Ashley stitch-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Chibas Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Fair play to Rafa, for sticking to his guns - he has to. You'd have to think that deep down he doesn't trust this lot (Ashley & Barnes) when it comes to using any money from a sale to fund player purchases.

TK-421 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That Spanish Gadgie has been tweeting again.. ?Alberto Santacruz @ a_santacruz Follow Follow @a_santacruz More ?Alberto Santacruz Retweeted ?Alberto Santacruz Newcastle is waiting to convince Benítez not to operate by force. There is an Athletic-Merino agreement and the last red and white offer that exceeds 15 million convinces English leaders, tied by the statements of their coach, although they do not rule out skipping it. Is that suggesting the club are trying to force Benitez to sell him for 15m (euros I guess)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
