Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have been linked with Thomas Partey.
Liverpool look set to miss out on Atletico Madrid defensive midfielder Thomas Partey.
According to Cadena Ser, Liverpool are interested in signing Partey from Spanish club Atletico in the summer transfer window.
However, AS has reported that the La Liga outfit are confident that the Ghana international will put pen to paper on a new deal and will not leave this summer.
The report in the Spanish publication has claimed that the 26-year-old has a release clause of €50 million (£44.5 million) in his current contract.
Atletico reportedly want to double that release clause and want the defensive midfielder to stay at the club beyond this summer.
