According to the reports, Lyon may be willing to accept a deal in installments for their playmaker. In Atletico Madrid however, they are holding out for a full 50 million euro release clause payment to let Partey go.
Arsenal need to sell more players to acquire enough money to trigger Partey's clause but may have enough currently to sign Aouar. They recently sold Emiliano Martinez to Aston Villa for 20 million pounds.
