Having been linked with a move away from Arsenal for a chunk of the summer, Thomas Partey remains a part of Mikel Arteta’s squad for the time being.
The 30-year-old even started both the Community Shield win and the first game of the season against Nottingham Forest, but that hasn’t stopped transfer rumours about his future.
Takvim in Turkey bring the latest about Galatasaray’s interest in the Ghana international, and reveal the club are ‘willing to pay’ €10m for the Arsenal midfielder.
They have been trying to bolster their midfield for some time now, first pursuing Fred before turning their attention to Tanguy Ndombélé, who isn’t keen on a move there.
This means they have had to look elsewhere, with the Arsenal player now on their list, and they are ‘closely interested in him’.
It’s said that Erden Timur, the club’s vice-chairman, has ‘started contacts’ with the Gunners about a transfer, and said they’d be happy to take him for €10m.
However, Arsenal’s expectation to sell Partey is €14m.
Galatasaray, down their end, are trying to ‘bring this figure down and finalise a transfer’ for a player whose contract in England ends in 2025.
