Early life
Born in Nantes, Merlin grew up in Sainte-Marie-sur-Mer, in a family with Méricourtois origins. Football-wise, he was formed in Brittany, between the towns of Nantes and Pornic.[3][4][5]
Club career
In January 2021, Merlin was selected by Nantes manager Raymond Domenech several times in the professional squad.[3][6][7] He eventually made his professional debut for Nantes on 10 February 2021, coming on as a half-time substitute for Ludovic Blas in a 4–2 Coupe de France loss to Lens.[8]
The manager who selected Merlin for the game was not on the bench as the young player entered the field, Domenech having been tested positive for COVID-19, and eventually learning he had been fired right after the Lens game.[9] Antoine Kombouaré succeeded him in the manager position.[10]
On 19 March 2021, Merlin signed his first professional contract with Nantes.[11]
International career
Merlin is a youth international for France.[4][5]
