On the Partey Situation:https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⌛" title="Sanduhr" aria-label="Emoji: Sanduhr">

Simeone does not count on Thomas as a regular starter this season despite his quality so apparently he& #39;s open to seeing Thomas leave.

He wants a South American backbone at the club which had lead to him to success in Simeone& #39;s earlier days.

As time goes on, Atleticos stance on Partey could weaken and Simeone is desperate to get Lucas Torreira in and has called him a few times as well as called Arteta to assure this can happen.

Financially, Atletico are strapped so they have to be creative in terms of sales [2]

Atletico cant spend more than 25% of income made from future sales as a result and it& #39;s why there is a deal to be done sooner or later

It& #39;s been mooted that Arsenal have two Options that they& #39;re exploring and are hoping Atletico agree to it before they go to the last resort [3]

Option 1: To Swap Torreira with Partey with Arsenal paying the remaining Value next summer guaranteed.

Option 2: Since it& #39;s Parteys desire to leave, there is a talk of loaning Partey for an initial fee of €20 and paying the obligated fee of €30m next summer.

The last resort will be that Arsenal will activate Partey& #39;s release clause outright in the end regardless.

So to summarise, @Arsenal and Partey know that they will see him wear the red and white in North London this window.

Whether Atletico want to cooperate with us or not. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⌛" title="Sanduhr" aria-label="Emoji: Sanduhr">
