4 clubs that could sign Thomas Partey this summer
4. Saudi Pro League
A new frontier is emerging in the Middle East in the Saudi Pro League. Governmental interest has flooded the division with cash, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to join Al-Nassr last year opening the floodgates for seasoned veterans whose time at the highest level is winding down to make their move for one last monster payday.
Partey doesn’t quite fit that bill, but Saudi clubs aren’t exclusively targeting over 35s. Several Premier League stars including Riyad Mahrez, David De Gea, Kyle Walker, and Wilfried Zaha have all been linked with moves to the Pro League, and surely Partey is a name that’d garner interest.
While the midfielder is still capable of competing at the highest level and among the Premier League’s most dominant midfielders when fit and firing, the sheer amount of cash that’d be offered to him if a Saudi club was to make a move would be tough to resist, especially if his minutes are set to dwindle next season in north London.
