Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are ready to sell Thomas Partey to Juventus in the summer transfer window, according to AS.
AS have reported that Partey has opened the door to leave Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners themselves are willing to let the former Atletico Madrid defensive midfielder leave and have asked Juventus to pay €35 million (£29.98 million) for the 28-year-old.
Now, that is too expensive for Juventus, according to the report, which has added that the Italian giants could include Arthur Melo in the deal to lower the cash they would have to pay.
Tutto Juve have reported that Partey has been proposed to Juventus in an exchange deal that would see Arthur move to Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
Selling Thomas Partey would be a mistake for Arsenal
In our opinion, selling Partey in the summer transfer window would be a mistake for Arsenal, especially if Mikel Arteta’s side quality for the Champions League next season.
After all, Partey was a regular in the Champions League with Atletico, and Arsenal will need that experience.
Yes, the 28-year-old has had injury problems and may not play again this season, but when in form, Partey has been superb for the Gunners.
Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell described Partey on Highbury Squad in March 2022 as the Gunners’ “most important player” who not only protects “the back four, but he gets that ball moving forward” as well.
