Inter in the hunt to sign Thomas

Atletico Madrid have to be careful if they do not want Thomas Partey to leave the club. The latest team to show interest in the Ghanaian midfielder are Inter Milan.

The physical presence in midfield of Thomas Partey is the main reason why Inter are interested in him. 'Mundo Deportivo' says they will try and get the player this summer. 

It is not the first time the Lombardy outfit have shown interest in the midfielder. A couple of seasons back, before making the step up, they were close to paying the buyout clause.

Atletico Madrid want to renew the midfielder's contract to prevent a club paying his buyout clause which currently stands at 50 million euros. 

Inter Milan are not the only team interested in Thomas. In the Premier League, both Arsenal and Manchester United are confident of persuading the player to join them as are Roma in Italy.

Therefore, despite the fact the current season has yet to finish, the fight to get a key player in midfield has begun. That is bad news for Atletico Madrid.
