Fran Merida's agent Joseba Diaz has told Radio Marca that he cannot understand why Atletico Madrid have not made a bid for the young Arsenal midfielder and says the player is wanted by a number of clubs in Europe.
"I do not know what Atletico are waiting for in bidding for a player [Merida] who has half of Europe after him," Diaz commented.
Diaz also said that although Merida was a fan of Los Colchoneros as a kid, things have changed and the 19-year-old, who is currently on duty with the Spain Under-21 side, now has his sights set on remaining with the Gunners.
"It's true that as a child he was 'sick' about Atletico but everything has changed a bit. Now his heart and head are with Arsenal," he noted.
"There are much falsehoods in the world of football because the players do not decide what team they play for. The priority now is to negotiate with Arsenal and in the future we'll see. The desire is to keep him at Arsenal and succeed."
