Thomas Partey (27 years old) is a key piece in Simeone's schemes. The Ghanaian, who has been in the rojiblanca first squad from season 2015-16It is together with Saúl and Koke who manage the center of the athletic field. Proof of this is that has participated in 46 games this year scoring four goals and giving an assist. His good performance has attracted the attention of many clubs, mainly from England and Italy. From Great Britain has sounded, above all, for Arsenal, which is even willing to pay its clause of 50 million euros.
Also in Italy there are candidates like Inter and recently also Juve. And is that the 'Corriere dello Sport' reports the new coach of the transalpinos, Pirlo, wants to strengthen the midfield and has thought of the Ghanaian for that position. Atlético, as it has done in recent years with the important players who wanted to leave, You will not negotiate and will only accept that you leave for the amount of your clause (the aforementioned 50 million). However, the Italian newspaper assures that the Juventians will try to lower the price by offering some players they do not have and that could be to the liking of the rojiblanco coaching staff.
The candidates are Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa and Khedira. None of them enter Pirlo's plans for his debut on the Juventus bench and he prefers to get rid of them and bring in players who are more in line with his idea of the game. For this reason, the Italian leaders will put them on the table when negotiating the signing of Thomas in case any could interest Simeone. Bernardeschi, 26, plays mainly on the right wing despite being left-handed and this season has participated in 38 games among all competitions, in which has scored two goals and has distributed three assists. The brazilian Douglas Costa (29 years old) moves through the same area as Bernardeschi and in the 29 games in which he has played He has scored three goals and has given seven goal passes. For its part, Sami khedira (33 years old) is an old acquaintance of LaLiga, since played for Real Madrid for five years before arriving in Italy. The German plays in the center of the field, so, a priori, could be a spare for thomas if the handover takes place. This campaign has taken to the grass only in 18 times due to injuries. Has not marked not so much and has given an assist.
