Thomas: Continuity in London or Dream Return to Atleti?
Atlético de Madrid is looking to strengthen its midfield, a constant request from Simeone. Among the names that have been strongly mentioned is that of Thomas Partey, a well-known figure among the Rojiblancos fans, trained in the youth academy and who left a great memory at the Metropolitano.
At 32 years old, the Ghanaian’s contract with Arsenal expires, the team he joined after paying his release clause. His possible return to Atlético thrilled many, seeing him as the missing piece to shore up the midfield. However, the latest news suggests that Thomas may stay at Arsenal.
There is talk of a possible renewal that would include one more year plus an optional one, in addition to a competitive salary. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s coach, has publicly stated his desire for the player to continue in the English team, highlighting his great season and his importance in the ‘Gunner’ scheme.
Thomas’ consistency, performance and availability have been exceptional, according to Arteta. Although the dream of returning to Atleti has not completely vanished, the possibility of Thomas remaining in London seems increasingly real. Rojiblancos fans will closely follow the evolution of this situation, hoping that, perhaps, destiny will reunite the paths of Thomas and Atlético de Madrid.
