Atletico Madrid resigned to losing Arsenal target Thomas Partey?

Atletico Madrid have accepted that midfielder Thomas Partey will leave the club at the end of the season, according to a report.

Partey has held talks with Arsenal over a summer switch to the Emirates Stadium, as confirmed by his father in April, while Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested.

The Ghana international has a £44.5m release clause in his contract and Cadena COPE suggests that an end-of-season exit is now the most likely option.

It is claimed that Arsenal are the side best placed to sign the 27-year-old, who is keen to prove himself in the Premier League.

Partey has made 30 starts and three substitute outings in La Liga and the Champions League during the 2019-20 campaign.
