It is no secret that Arsenal is interested in signing Atletico’s Thomas Partey and the Gunners remain keen on him (Football London).
They have been informed by the Spaniards that they will have to pay his 50 million euros release clause if they hope to sign him.
The Gunners have reportedly had an offer for his signature turned down by the Spaniards.
However, it seems that Atletico might soften their stance on his transfer soon with the latest report from Spain claiming that they are targeting a move for another midfielder.
AS claims that Diego Simeone’s side has plans to sign Espanyol’s Marc Roca this summer and that they will get the deal done for 15 million Euros.
The young Spaniard was arguably the best player in the Catalan side last season, but his fine performances were not enough to help them avoid relegation.
Now that they will have to compete in the Spanish second tier, he is too good to remain with them and a number of teams have been looking to sign him.
He has also been linked with a move to Arsenal, but only as an alternative to Partey and if Atleti eventually signs him, it might pave the way for them to sell Partey to the Gunners.
I’m sorry but I am getting fed up with reading articles about this guy. Can we please have no more postings about him until we either sign him or not.
We aint getting Partey.
Its very annoying
OT.. Sky have sacked Le Tissier, Nicholas and Thompson??!!!! 😳
Why?
Cutting staff numbers apparently, Declan. Jeff and Merse will remain….
Matt Le Tissier is one player I wish I’d seen play in an Arsenal shirt.
OT:

Rightly so, Uzi!! If Chilwell can go for 50m , he’s worth more than 15m!!
Exactly. Wolves should up their game. Better still, AMN shouldn’t go no where
Yes they should, don’t be tight 😂😂
@Sue Dead right on that one, Sue. We can´t go giving our players away and then buy at a premium.
Time to make a stand here I say!
Hear hear!! 🙂👍
Arsenal should bid for Marc Roca and snap him up.
It appears only arsenal is interested in this partey guy..
Marc Roca and Diawara are more specialist DM’s whereas Partey is more a box to box midfielder.
I and others have recommended Marc Roca from relegated Espanyol in the past. He would be an excellent buy as DM.
yes get roca and let athleti pay party the 200,000 ppw he wants if they dont want to sell
The only thing that matters is if Thomas Partey want to come or not. If not, we’re out. But if he want to join the Gunners I don’t think Diego Simeone can stop him. If he try to keep TP against his will, it wont work, a player who is on the move in mind is a bad player. Let’s hope Thomas Partey have decided to leave Madrid for London – and the best League in business.
If only pigs could fly! 🐷🐖🛫
That Arsenal won’t keep buying high and selling low, due to Board incompetence.
