In a twist that could mark the end of Ghanian international Thomas Partey’s stint at Arsenal FC. Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly eyeing a January loan move for the Ghanaian midfielder, according to Goal.com.
Partey, who has been grappling with a series of injuries throughout the ongoing season, might have played his last game for the Gunners. The midfielder has endured a frustrating campaign, accumulating only 341 minutes on the pitch. His last appearance dates back to October 8 against Manchester City, when he came off the bench just for 15 minutes.
The Foot Mercato sources quoted by Goal.com say that Juventus are actively pursuing the 30-year-old midfielder, with the club’s sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, allegedly flying to London to engage in talks with Partey regarding a potential loan move.
Partey’s existing contract with Arsenal is set to expire in 2025, and should Juventus opt for a permanent transfer, the Gunners are expected to demand a fee of €30 million. Midfielder’s transfer value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €35 million.
However, it seems Juventus is leaning towards a loan move, possibly indicating a strategic approach to assess the player’s fitness and form before committing to a long-term deal.
The looming January transfer window now becomes a crucial period for Partey, Arsenal, and Juventus, as negotiations unfold and the midfielder’s future hangs in the balance. Gunners’ fans anxiously await developments, wondering if Partey will be donning the Juventus colors in the coming months.
