Thomas Partey of Arsenal is attracting interest from both Juventus and clubs in Saudi Arabia as he prepares to depart from the Gunners during this transfer window.

The potential arrival of Declan Rice at Arsenal from West Ham could prompt Partey’s departure, as the club seems open to letting the Ghanaian midfielder leave for the right fee.

Now, Partey faces a decision regarding his future, weighing the option of moving to Saudi Arabia, where he could potentially earn a higher salary, against the opportunity to join Juventus and continue playing in Europe.

While many players have opted to move to the Middle East, a report from Football Italia suggests that Partey is more inclined towards a move to Juventus. He reportedly does not wish to end his European journey just yet and would prefer a switch to the Italian club instead.

Just Arsenal Opinion

We still need Partey, especially since the departure of Granit Xhaka but Arteta knows what he wants and will only sanction a sale if he is satisfied with his current options.

It remains unclear how much the club values the midfielder, but the Saudis will probably offer us more money if there is a bidding war for his signature.

  1. Juventus are very unlikely to pay anything close to Partey’s true worth. Selling him to them would,therefore, be absolutely pointless.
    Obviously his transfer fee to any Saudi team would be far more significant and potentially more worthwhile.As long as the fee is close to the amount it would cost Arsenal to replace him.After all Partey has probably been the EPL’s best DCM over the course of two thirds if the last two Seasons.Whilst he struggles to maintain his fitness for an entire season he’s presumably worth having within the squad as a more than capable backup.
    Otherwise…Here’s a “left-field solution”…What about offering Brighton Partey and £60m for Caicedo?

    1. Nice idea, but being seemingly injury prone since arriving from Athletico, not sure BHA would go for that, probably drop his value by £15M making it 85/15.
      Caicedo = £85M
      Party = £15M

      * Assuming AFC still value Partey @ £30M

      1. I preferred we keep him instead of salling him to or rivals when partey is fit he is far better than any other midfielders in England so let’s keep him for champion league pls

  2. Saudi pay £30 million over two year deal, but Arsenal want £30 million up front from the oil rich tycoon.

    1. Paltry!!!
      Neither of the above is good for the Arsenal.
      Partey’s value must be “NOT FOR SALE”.
      But if it is, that, he definitely must go, for which I don’t even know why it mist be so, then our ask should not be less than £50Mill.

  3. I preferred we keep him instead of salling him to or rivals when partey is fit he is far better than any other midfielders in England so let’s keep him for champion league pls

  4. Selling Partey to Juve is basically a loss because Juve is piss poor.
    Selling Partey to Saudi is a no go because he didnt want to go.
    Keeping Partey is expensive and kind of pointless because we have Rice and Jorginho is a very capable and reliable backup, as long as we use him sparingly, or mainly as a closer. And him being there stops Arsenal from buying Lavia.

    Quite a headache. Maybe loan him out to Juve this season, and sell to saudi next year?

    1. I dont think Jorginho is good enough.
      Other than just shouting and conducting using his hands.
      He is one player when we are playing i consider very slow and makes other team members suffer trying to cover for him.
      He should be number 3 choice not second.

  5. Don’t see Partey joining Juventus. They just signed a contract extension with Adrian Rabiot who Partey was apparently going to replace. So they won’t be under any pressure to pay the kind of money Arsenal would want. And they are not in the CL, so I don’t see the attraction for the player.
    Therefore if Partey is not keen on a Saudi move, as is widely reported, then he stays here next season. In which case, it would seem that Arsenal’s summer transfer business is basically done.

    1. We are linked with other positions.
      If Balogun goes, we will need a replacement for him.
      We are strongly tipped to strengthen in the right-wing area for back up for Saka.
      I don’t believe him staying indicates anything.

  6. Unless MA gas a plan to bring in another central midfielder I would keep him for another season.
    We might very well need him with Declan Rice’s medical seemingly taking weeks to complete.

  7. I think it obvious you can’t lose 2 midfielders at the same time.
    secondly you can’t decrease your height as well in the middle of the park. Loosing 2 players of 6ft at the same time, how is the team going to defend corners.
