Arsenal transfer news: The latest on the future of holding midfielder Thomas Partey as the Ghana international attracts attention from several Saudi Arabian sides
Arsenal is set for yet another busy summer transfer window in terms of both incoming and outgoing.
So, with all that being said, football.london has looked at the latest news regarding the Ghana international and his future in north London.
Saudi clubs keen
Three Saudi Arabian clubs have shown an interest in signing Partey, according to recent reports.
CBS Sports have claimed that Saudi trio Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Khaleej are all keen on the Ghana international, who will be into the final two years of his contract with Mikel Arteta’s side at the end of June.
Talks ongoing
As per the Athletic, both Arsenal and Partey’s representatives are working on possible exit solutions for the 30-year-old.
It is claimed that the Gunners will consider proposals from interested clubs if a suitable opportunity arises for a sale. If the former Atletico Madrid man was to leave the north Londoners, then a replacement would need to be signed, not related to Arsenal’s pursuit of Declan Rice.
Arsenal opens to sale
Arsenal is open to sanctioning a sale for Partey during this summer’s transfer window, as per the Daily Mail.
It is claimed that the Gunners will have around £180million to play with in the market but additional money could be added to their budget through sales. And Partey, along with Granit Xhaka, Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding could be sold as Mikel Arteta’s side look to revamp their squad ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Serie A switch
According to the Mirror, Partey is a target for two clubs in the Serie A.
The 29-year-old midfielder has played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s success this season but, following a drop in form, he could be offloaded as Arteta looks to spruce up his side.
Partey ‘upgrade’
In an interview with bettingexpert.com, Mikael Silvestre urged Arsenal to replace Partey with Rice. The former Gunners defender said: “I think Partey has been excellent this season and he has played his best football for Arsenal.
“So, I expect him to respond and go back to his best after a few bad games. But obviously, every top club need competition and Declan Rice, with all respect for Thomas Partey, would be an upgrade, for sure.”
