Thomas Partey agrees personal terms with Juventus over £17m move from Arsenal after snubbing Saudi Arabia offers, with Massimiliano Allegri a big fan of the midfielder
- Juventus have rivalled Saudi Arabian clubs for Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey
- The Serie A side have reportedly offered Partey a three-year contract to join
- Partey has agreed to join Juventus with the midfielder keen to remain in Europe
Thomas Partey has approved a potential move to Juventus with the Arsenal midfielder expected to turn down offers from Saudi Arabia.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Partey's entourage have reached an agreement with the Serie A club on personal terms.
Juventus had wanted to sign the Ghanaian international two years ago, but were unable to pursue a deal due to the high asking price demanded.
A transfer is now considered more likely with Arsenal willing to sell Partey this summer than avoid losing him on a free when his contract expires in June 2024.
Juventus believe a fee of between €18-20million (£15-17million) could be enough to secure a player loved by manager Massimiliano Allegri.

Allegri hopes Partey would allow Paul Pogba to play further up the pitch for Juventus
Allegri has been targeting a defensive midfielder in Partey's mould for some time, with the 30-year-old able to play in various systems.
He has played in a two-man midfielder as part of a 4-2-3-1 at Arsenal, as well as in a three in a 4-3-3 system.
Allegri believes Partey would allow Paul Pogba to play further forward, allowing the Frenchman able to link up with Juventus' strikers.
Sky Sport report that Partey has been offered a three-year contract at Juventus, with the midfielder open to a move to Italy after spells in both England and Spain.
According to SportMediaset, Partey is keen to remain in a competitive European league, which is expected to lead to him turning down offers from Saudi Pro League sides.
The Ghana captain joined Arsenal in October 2020 from Atletico Madrid, where he had made 188 appearances over five years with the La Liga side.
Partey has played 99 times for Arsenal, scoring five goals and providing four assists.
