Reports from England have revealed that Arsenal and Ghana international midfielder, Thomas Partey, is on the verge of a lucrative summer move to the Saudi Arabian Pro League.
According to the reports, Partey’s representatives have been in talks with the unnamed club and working behind the scenes to secure him a summer move away from North London as Mikel Arteta is not willing to renew his contract which runs out next summer.
It is also rumoured that former Chelsea coach, Jose Mourinho who was recently appointed head coach of Turkish club, Fenerbahce, is also interested in luring the player to the Istanbul club while Juventus is also said to be eyeing the player.
During his time at the London club, Partey had been one of the fulcrum of the team but in the past two seasons, his appearances have been marred by injuries and loss of form.
During the 2023-24 season, Partey struggled with hamstring and groin injuries that limited him to just 16 appearances across all competitions.
According to Football Insider, the 31-year-old midfielder who signed for the Gunners from Atletico Madrid in 2020, would love to extend his contract with Arsenal but the club have no intention of offering him an extension on his deal and are willing to listen to offers for him before he enters the final 12 months of his contract.
Arteta is expected to be busy this summer and would likely look to use the proceeds from the potential sale to bring in a younger central midfielder to partner Declan Rice, with the rumoured fee said to be in the region of £20m to £25m.
The Ghanaian had previously been linked with a move to the Middle East and Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund officials have now restarted talks over a potentially lucrative contract.
