Mikel joined Real Sociedad in the summer of 2018 and quickly became an integral part of the team, with his performances improving steadily over time. His achievements mirrored those of the Txuri Urdin squad, and he has given us many unforgettable moments. As a key player in our successes over the past five years, Merino has contributed significantly to the team’s achievements. We’ve enjoyed some incredible moments with the Navarrese midfielder, like his spectacular pass to Portu at La Cartuja—a highlight we’ll always remember. A true professional and exemplary teammate, Merino leaves with the appreciation and gratitude of the entire Txuri Urdin family. We have gained a lot from him, and he has given us his all. As he embarks on a new journey, we wish him nothing but the best. We will always support him. This will always be your home, Mikel. Eskerrik asko.
