heavily linked.
initial stories claimed a loan deal was agreed, but apparently he has a €7M buy out clause.
Dortmund bought him last year from Osasuna for €4M

Not heard of him myself but the bundsaliga website said this about him when Dortmund signed him:
A rangy box-to-box midfielder, Merino is yet to make his La Liga debut, but has 51 appearances in the Spanish second tier under his belt. Composed in possession with a keen eye for a pass, the technically gifted youngster also boasts a quick turn of pace and an ability to read the game that belies his age.

With a write up like that it's kind of strange that they want rid of him don't you thinkOriginally Posted by Jammy89

I imagine it's more he's 21 and they don't think he'll get as much game time with them as he would with us.
Same way we've sent Longstaff out on loan.

Imagine your right Jammy stick another untried unknown player in our side and have a gamble on our Premiership future. The mind boggles.
