Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Thomas Partey as a key option to reinforce its midfield for the upcoming season. The Ghanaian player, whose contract with Arsenal expires in June and will not be renewed, emerges as an interesting alternative for Diego Pablo Simeone, who is seeking greater competitiveness in the midfield and has requested the signing of the Ghanaian whom he knows very well.

Partey, 31, is on the radar of several top-level teams in Europe. However, the interest of the colchoneros stands out due to the previous connection between both parties, as the midfielder was an important piece in Simeone's scheme before moving to the Premier League. His return would not only bring experience but also a physical and tactical profile that would fit into the Argentine coach's plan.

Arsenal wants to sign Thomas Partey

FC Barcelona has also shown interest in the Ghanaian, which could lead to a dispute between the two Spanish clubs. However, the economic situation of the azulgranas could hinder his transfer, while Atlético could have an advantage due to his past at the club. Although Arsenal tried to extend his contract, the player prefers to explore new opportunities and receive a signing bonus, something that both Atlético and Barça would be willing to offer.

In addition to these two teams, clubs from Italy, Germany, and Saudi Arabia are closely monitoring the midfielder's situation. With 156 games played at Arsenal, his elite experience makes him an attractive target for several suitors. In the coming weeks, his destiny could be defined, with Atlético de Madrid being one of the main candidates to repatriate him.
