An undisputed starter for Arsenal last season, Thomas Partey has struggled in recent months with some disappointing performances. At the age of 30, the Ghanaian midfielder is no longer essential to Mikel Arteta's plans. As a result, Arsenal have opened negotiations to acquire Englishman Declan Rice, and are preparing to make a substantial investment.
Pushed towards the exit, the Black Star has met with Gunners management to facilitate his departure. According to Sky Sport Italia, Juventus are very interested in signing Thomas Partey. A 3-year contract has already been agreed. The Old Lady are set to lose Adrien Rabiot at the end of his contract and have chosen the Gunner as his successor. An offer of between €18m and €20m is being prepared, while Thomas Partey has given the go-ahead for talks between Juventus and Arsenal to begin.
