“I can say that right now, I haven’t talked to anyone, even if Inter are a top club. There’s a €50 million release clause in his contract, a figure that’s cheap for a player like Thomas.”

“We’ll wait for the season to end and then we’ll see.” said Jimenez.

The 25-year-old midfielder has been crucial for Atletico Madrid this season, as he appeared in 40 matches across all competitions for Los Rojniblancos.

Despite having the quality to plug the void in Man United midfield, Partey is happy in Atletico Madrid and further wants to continue with his club.

However, transfer windows are always uncertain and the brand power of Manchester United can compel the midfielder to overturn his decision.

Thomas Partey is a decent player and would add more strength to Manchester United, if there was any interest in him. Release clause is affordable too. However, not having a footballing man in charge at the club, these talents will evade United. No lessons learned in six years! https://t.co/1w8F6znAC3
