Atlético de Madrid completed one of the best transfer markets in its history this summer, acquiring renowned footballers such as Julián Alvarez , Conor Gallagher and Alexander Sorloth . The colchoneros reinforced all their positions on the pitch, making a significant economic effort to close operations that were not at all easy with several of the giants of Europe. Investing a fortune in closing these resounding additions, the colchoneros are already devising their future plans to continue growing as a club and as a squad in the winter market.
One of the players who has been strongly linked in recent days with the red and white jersey is the much missed Thomas Partey , who would be keen to return to Atlético . The red and whites took a while to accept the departure of one of their best players in midfield, who headed to Arsenal a few years ago and could return to the Metropolitano . With Atlético de Madrid being one of the clubs interested in the Ghanaian, Partey has numerous suitors, including direct rivals of Cholo Simeone 's team.
Thomas Partey's "girlfriends"
The Arsenal player is on the list of big names in Europe such as Juventus and FC Barcelona , with the latter being keen to sign him. The Blaugranas seem very interested in the Ghanaian and would consider signing him in January when the transfer window reopens to reinforce their powerful midfield. Even so, the Catalans know that the operation, taking into account the rivals they are fighting against, is expected to be quite complicated and they doubt it will come to fruition.
Atlético de Madrid , for their part, know that Partey would be delighted to return to what was once his home, knowing a good part of the dressing room and Diego Pablo Simeone . El Cholo would be, precisely, the one who would want to bring the footballer back to have a very interesting alternative in the indicated position of '5' , where Thomas would fit in wonderfully. Pending being able to complete the operation in the winter market, the colchoneros have already asked the London club about the one who was a footballer of Atlético a few years ago.
Back home
Thomas was part of important victories for Atlético, such as their third Europa League and their third European Super Cup in the summer of 2018 , with the Ghanaian being an undisputed starter. Thomas won the affection and respect of a fan base that mourned his departure and would like to see their former midfielder back in red and white. With the move far from being finalised, Thomas Partey is patiently waiting for some news about an operation that he wants to resolve as soon as possible.
Interesting reinforcement
The pivot remains a rather controversial position within an Atlético de Madrid team that has not yet found its true '5' . Thomas would land in Simeone 's schemes to be the one who occupies that position on the pitch and would try to perform as well as he used to do in the past. With everything up in the air and being a mere rumour, Thomas Partey will continue with his adventure in England, impatient to find out what his next destination will be next year.
