#4 Manchester United target midfielder's release clause revealed

SD Eibar v Club Atletico de Madrid - La Liga

We had revealed in this segment on 21st May that in an interview to BBC, Thomas Partey, the Athletico Madrid Midfielder, had refused to rule out a move out of the club in the summer. The Metro now reports that the Ghanian Midfielder has a release clause of £43.5m.

The stunning information was revealed by Daniel Jimenez, Thomas Partey's agent, who was speaking to Passione. He tried to give a diplomatic response to the rumours surrounding his client's move this summer.

I can reveal that I have not talked to anyone right now, even though Inter Milan are a huge club.

There is a £43.5m release clause in Partey's contract. It is an amount that is too cheap for a player of his calibre.

As of now, we have to wait for the season to end. After that, we shall see.

There have been unconfirmed reports that the Ghanian's representatives have been in touch with an English club for some time, and it is thought that both United and Arsenal are weighing up moves for him. Now that the Serie A is officially over, we can expect a more concrete news some time soon.
