'No negotiating - Arsenal have to meet 50m euro buyout for Partey'
Guillem Balague
Spanish football journalist
There is no deal to be done with Atletico Madrid (for Thomas Partey) because Atletico will not negotiate at all.
That means what Arsenal have to do is go to La Liga and say they are willing to meet his buyout clause.
So no negotiating is taking place, Arsenal just have to take that last step.
It has been reported in Spain they they are willing to pay the 50 million euros of his buyout clause, so we will have to see.
