Arsenal joined by Bayern Munich and PSG in Thomas Partey transfer race with Atletico Madrid star available for £44m
ARSENAL have been joined by European giants Bayern Munich and Paris-Saint Germain in the race to land Thomas Partey.
Spanish outlet claim that the Gunners are the team that have shown the most interest for the Atletico Madrid star but Manchester United, Chelsea, Juventus and Inter Milan also remain options.
The outlet adds that PSG are considering activating the midfielder's £44million release clause while Atleti are yet to give up on the Ghanaian signing a renewal.
Bundesliga champions Bayern have also listed Partey as one of the names to replace veteran Javi Martinez, 31, whose contract expires next year.

It was previously reported that Arsenal's hopes of landing the holding midfielder this summer rest on their bid to qualify for the Champions League.
Partey himself came in for particular praise for his performances in the European competition during Atletico's 4-2 aggregate win over Liverpool.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand urged his former club to rival Arsenal and make a move for Partey as well this summer.
But the 26-year-old's agents were recently forced to apologise uploading a social media post asking fans to vote on his next club.
JJ Sport Managers - the company who represent Partey - posted an image on the star on Instagram with the caption: "Pick his club."
Underneath the Ghana international were the badges of Arsenal, United, Juventus, PSG and Bayern Munich.
The post was swiftly deleted and the company released a short statement apologising for fuelling the transfer speculation surrounding Partey.
It read: "In view of the publication that was made today Wednesday 29 April 2020 on our Instagram account, regarding the future of our player Thomas Partey, from JJ Sport Managers we want to convey that this publication was not approved by the company management.
