Arsenal are reportedly demanding at least £30m for the sale of Thomas Partey this summer, with clubs in the Saudi Pro League and Fenerbahce keen on the Ghanaian.

Arsenal have reportedly revealed their asking price for midfielder Thomas Partey, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League keen on the player.

The 31-year-old endured an injury-blighted 2023-24 campaign but still managed to return to action during the second half of the term to help the Gunners in their quest for Premier League supremacy.

Often partnering the likes of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in a midfield three at the Emirates, Partey made 14 league appearances last season, starting nine of those contests.

Despite taking the title race to the final day of the Premier League term, a 2-1 win over Everton in North London was not enough to prevent Pep Guardiola's Manchester City from earning their fourth straight English crown.

Since the end of club action, Partey has been kept busy by his international duties for Ghana, starting the victories over Mali and Central African Republic in June.

Arsenal 'confirm' Partey price tag

According to The Mirror, Arsenal have revealed their asking price for Partey, as a number of clubs from around the world circle the midfielder during this summer's transfer window.

The report states that Mikel Arteta's side will accept an offer of £30m for the 31-year-old, who only managed 16 appearances across all competitions in 2023-24.

With Partey's contract at the Emirates expiring during the summer of 2025, the current window represents a good opportunity for Arsenal to earn a significant chunk of cash for the player.

The Gunners are targeting major improvements in attacking areas and will need to fund any incomings, even after missing out on RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko.

Focusing back on Partey, it is understood that teams in the Saudi Pro League are preparing big-money swoops for the 38-time Ghana international in an attempt to lure him away from the Premier League.

Fenerbahce join the Partey?

Alongside state-backed clubs in the Middle East, it is believed that Fenerbahce are keen on bringing Partey's four-year stay at Arsenal to an end this summer.

The Yellow Canaries have recently appointed Jose Mourinho as head coach and will be looking to the Premier League market as they strive to beat Galatasaray to the Turkish Super Lig title in 2025.

Possibly in the knowledge that Partey is heading for a swift exit, Arsenal have supposedly made contact with Everton over the signing of midfielder Amadou Onana.

It is understood that Sean Dyche's Toffees would demand at least £50m for the services of the Belgian, who is also said to be on the radar of Manchester United and Newcastle United.
