Real Sociedad midfielder Brais Mendez has been linked with a move away from the Basque club this summer, with Arsenal and Liverpool interested.
According to a report from Fichajes, Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on signing 27-year-old Real Sociedad midfielder Brais Mendez. The two Premier League clubs will have to pay €50 million in order to get the deal done.
The Spaniard has been a key player for Real Sociedad, and he scored eight goals and picked up nine assists in all competitions last season. He can slot in as an attacking midfielder as well as a central midfielder. So, it is hardly surprising that well-known clubs are interested in signing the Real Sociedad midfielder.
Arsenal could certainly use more creativity and technical ability in the middle of the park, and Brais Mendez would be a quality acquisition for them. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his powers, and he could make an instant impact at the north London club if the transfer goes through.
A move to the Premier League would be an exciting opportunity for him, and he would get to test himself at a high level. Arsenal have been pushing for the league title in the last two seasons, and they will be an attractive destination. The Spanish international has been linked with other English clubs as well.
Arsenal and Liverpool need more quality in the midfield
Arsenal certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay up. The Gunners will need to improve the other areas of their squad as well, and they will not want to overspend on Mendez.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are keen on the attacking midfielder as well. They will need to replace Thiago Alcantara who has left the club earlier this summer. Brais Mendez could be the ideal replacement. He will add goals and creativity to the Liverpool midfield next season.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down. They have the financial muscle to pay €50 million for the Spanish midfielder as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career right now, and he will be excited to take on a new challenge.
