The transfer saga surrounding Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has taken a fresh twist as Juventus reignites their pursuit of the Ghanaian international.
Initial discussions between Partey and Juventus had taken place earlier in the transfer window, raising speculation that he might depart from the Emirates Stadium to pave the way for Declan Rice’s potential move.
However, the Italian club temporarily shifted their focus to other targets. Recent developments, however, have once again thrust Partey into the spotlight of their interest.
A key factor in this renewed pursuit was the decision by one of Juventus’s primary midfield targets, Franck Kessie of Barcelona, to make a surprising move to the Saudi Pro League by joining Al Ahli.
Meanwhile, Denis Zakaria, the Swiss midfielder who had a loan spell with Chelsea last season, is on the verge of joining AS Monaco, although the final transfer fee between the two clubs is yet to be settled.
Thomas Partey himself had been subject to rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia, with even suggestions that personal terms had been agreed with a Middle Eastern club. Ultimately, no concrete move materialized for the talented midfielder.
