Reports have emerged indicating that Thomas Partey, Arsenal’s midfielder, has communicated his intention to depart from the club during the upcoming January transfer window. He appears to favor a move to a Premier League team over Serie A giants Juventus, according to sources from Tuttomercatoweb.
The Ghanaian international, who was acquired by Arsenal in a £45 million deal from Atletico Madrid, is keen on a change of scenery and a potential mid-season transfer.
Partey’s exit, however, is contingent on Arsenal’s ability to secure a suitable replacement and the willingness of manager Mikel Arteta to let him join a top-flight rival.
Although Juventus has expressed interest in the 30-year-old midfielder, reports from Tuttomercatoweb suggest that Partey is keeping the Italian club in limbo, anticipating offers from English or Spanish clubs. It is worth noting that he initially gained prominence under the guidance of Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid.
Partey, who played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s pursuit of the Premier League title last season, has been hindered by a persistent groin injury during the 2023/24 campaign. Even when fit, he has occasionally found himself on the bench, leading to frustration, as evidenced during the recent 2-2 London derby draw with Chelsea, as reported by 90Min.
With the transfer window on the horizon, Arsenal fans are eagerly awaiting developments as the future of Thomas Partey at the club remains uncertain.
