Thomas Partey is very close to renewing with Atlético de Madrid. The daisy that the Ghanaian, 27 years old, was removing, seemed to bring him closer to the Premier, specifically to an Arsenal very insistent on his signing, but now the media is more convinced to continue under Simeone's orders. The Metropolitan club, where pessimism was overcoming as the weeks went by, offered him more than double his salary (and raise the termination clause to 100 million) and the footballer, as he anticipates Ghana Soccernet, is about to sign.
He canterano, with the current contract, is priced at 50 million euros that makes you a bargain for the Premier clubs. Not only does Arsenal have him on his agenda, but he has been the most insistent. And the midfielder has not been blunt about his future. Even his father has slipped on occasion that in England he would be more valued. But Atleti do have him and that is why he made him an offer in the fall that he has meditated on for months.
Third in minutes, 16th in salary
The footballer is in the best moment of your career. At Atlético is the third player most used by Simeone, after Oblak and Saúl, and as a consequence of his good performance, many greats from Europe want him. However, his record is currently one of the lower of the template (the 16th highest). If he does not change his mind and signature, that will be corrected and will continue to be one of the important pieces of a Champions League project – something that Arsenal cannot give him, for example – but better valued financially.
The Ghanaian has played 183 rojiblanco games, but 87 of them have been in the last two seasons, evidence of its growth and the relevance it has in the group, practically at the level of Koke and Saúl, all three raised in the quarry. His current contract expires in 2023 and, now, there is already great optimism that the idea of Thomas will not come out this summer. And the sports management celebrates that important footballers do not come out.
