Juventus want to sign Thomas Partey from Arsenal in the summer.
The Gunners paid £45 million to Atlético Madrid in October 2020 to activate his release clause, but he has struggled to justify that fee in his time in North London, with the player himself rating his own performances as 4our out of ten.
However, in recent weeks, there have been signs that he is finding form, and the club’s supporters have just voted him their Player of the Month for February. He scored against Liecester on Sunday and turned in a Man of the Match performance.
He is under contract at the Emirates until 2025, and Mikel Arteta continues to want to build his midfield around him.
D3espite that, the Turin club, who have been keen on Partey since his Atlético days, retain an interest in him and are ready to test the Gunners resolve to keep him with a bid once the summer transfer window opens.
It is unlikely Arsenal would entertain offers anywhere south of what they paid for him.
