Robert Olabe is equally concerned and optimistic about the future of Mikel Merino in the Royal Society. Navarrese is entering the final year of his contract. The club wants to renew him, it told him, but it respects the player’s time.
The explanation of the situation given by the factual Director of Football to the media this morning in Anoeta was complex. “The context of the summer is complex: Euro Cup, European Under-19 Championship, Olympic Games… there are many spotlights shining. You know what the mood of the club has been about Michael, convince him that this is his place. It’s June, we haven’t renewed yet. I’d be lying if I said I was uneasy, because of what it meant Michael in the current market. I don’t think he is looking to leave Real. Michael This equates to not being random. There are important clubs but it’s still early, because no one is moving. I feel uneasy. In March he showed some calm about the future, but in June the parties are still waiting, the summer can be long. Our decision is made and shown in Michael. We want to continue to rely on him. Managing wills is not easy. We want to keep hoping Michael and he knows it. He deserves this time. It was a life decision, his last important contract. Nothing happens in June, but there is the Euro Cup. We are working on the assumption that Michael He will come with us,” explained the man from Gasteiz.
Olabe clarified that the wait is not based on a confirmed intention to leave the player, and it is not based solely on money. “We want him to continue with us. It’s not a question of money. It’s a question of life and where everything is important. If that’s the case, I told you it’s impossible. I don’t think so Michael decided to leave. Your waiting is not based on ‘I want to leave’. We may come to the conclusion that we prefer performance over money at that time. There are several wills. That scenario is not happening today. “He is a very suspicious player,” he said.
He also appreciates the evolution of the club in these years regarding the status of the players and the strength of Real in front of these negotiations. “It’s not disappointing (comparing to other big clubs). The club is doing extraordinary things. The status of this player was very different six years ago. La Real builds value and values players .We are now proud Michael Not the one that came in 2018,” he commented.
