Arsenal have been linked with a move for Thomas Partey for over a year now, links between the pair is becoming something of a saga.
Even Partey’s father spoke about a possible move for his son to Arsenal, although they were furthered by player’s agents which was possibly just to stop Atletico Madrid from becoming annoyed.
Mundo Deportivo explains about the excitement in Ghana media, who are clearly thrilled & clearly see their countryman playing for Arsenal.
Atletico Madrid and Partey’s representatives plan to talk soon over a possible renewal, although if no common ground is reached – a move away from Wanda Metropolitano is on the cards with a relative buyout clause of €50m which would interest number of European elites.
The news outlet say that ‘especially Arsenal’ are keen on Thomas, and that the North London side have picked the Ghanaian as their ‘priority objective’ this summer.
Although a move to Arsenal, would depend on the finances available with us and the nature of the buy-out clause means that whole amount will have to be paid in one go – so I don’t see us doing that. Raul would rather negotiate a fee and payment schedule with the Reds from Madrid.
