Thomas Partey 'expected to sign new Atletico Madrid contract' despite transfer interest from Manchester United and Arsenal

Thomas Partey is poised to sign a new contract with Atletico Madrid, according to reports in Spain.

Before the coronavirus outbreak halted the 2019-20 campaign Arsenal and Manchester United had been monitoring the midfielder with view to a summer transfer.

Partey has a £47million release clause on his current Atletico deal. However, AS claim he is close to agreeing fresh terms which would see his release clause doubled.
