In England they say that Arsenal throws in the towel for Thomas

Thomas Partey (27 years old) is an important player for Simeone. The Ghanaian, who has finished his fifth season in the first mattress squad, has established himself as one of the permanent players in the Cholo line-up. Proof of this are the 46 games in which he has participated in the recently concluded campaign. Total has added 3571 ', being the second field player with the most minutes, just behind Saul, and has scored four goals and distributed an assist. His good performance at Atlético and, above all, his low price (has a buyout clause of 50 million euros) make it coveted by many clubs on the continent.

Throughout this course there have been several teams that have knocked on Thomas' door to inquire about his situation and probe if he would be willing to change of scene. From United or Juventus through Bayern or PSG have been in the pools to take the mattress player, who contract ends in 2023 and is pending renewal. But if there is a club that has tried to captivate the Ghanaian, it is undoubtedly Arsenal. The ‘Gunners’, led by the Spanish Mikel Arteta, they want to get his signing at all costs and They have proposed different formulas to convince Atlético agree to let Thomas go, including the option include players in the operation, such as Guendouzi.

But all those attempts have been in vain and the rojiblancos, as they have done in recent years with the players they consider basic, such as Griezmann, Rodrigo or Lucas Hernández, They close in band upon payment of the full amount of the clause if they want to take the player. In this situation, as reported by the English newspaper ‘Daily Star’, londoners they have let Thomas know that his signing is very difficult and that they are close to throwing in the towel and focus on other more economical objectives. The economic crisis generated by the coronavirus has caused clubs have to measure their expenses very well and paying 50 million right now is a big outlay for most clubs. In the case of Arsenal it is especially complicated, since has not managed to qualify for the next edition of the Champions, with the loss of income that this implies.
