<\/p>\n

Arsenal have reportedly slashed Thomas Partey\u2019s asking price to just \u00a326million ahead of a possible January transfer window exit, it has been claimed. Partey was once one of Mikel Arteta\u2019s most trusted stars but is now being linked with a departure as injuries continue to disrupt the Ghanaian\u2019s Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

Reports in Italy suggest that Juventus would be willing to sign the midfielder in January. However, the Serie A giants are only interested in a loan while their ability to spend money remains constrained.<\/p>\n

Juventus could reportedly insert a clause that would give them the chance to make a temporary deal permanent in the summer. Arsenal are keen to recoup funds for players to balance their books after several years of big spending.<\/p>\n

Partey could be one of the players Arsenal allow to leave in the near future. The 30-year-old has missed large parts of this season through injury and a fresh setback is set to keep him out for several weeks.<\/p>\n

According to Tutto Mercato, Arsenal will only accept \u00a326m for the former Atletico Madrid star. However, that is likely a much smaller fee than they might have wanted during the summer window, when Partey\u2019s role in Arteta\u2019s side was more prominent.<\/p>\n

Partey was widely linked with a move ahead of the season but was persuaded to stay by head coach Arteta. Declan Rice\u2019s \u00a3105m arrival raised concerns that Partey would struggle for the regular game time he had been earning for the previous few campaigns.<\/p>\n

The combative ace suffered a groin injury in August and having returned to action earlier this month, he now has a separate muscular injury. Arteta admits that Partey\u2019s injuries are \u2018concerning\u2019.<\/p>\n
