Midfield kingpin, Thomas Partey is set to sign a new Atletico Madrid which would see his buy-out clause rise to £92million, Goal has reported.
The Ghana international's current contract which expires in 2023 has a release clause of just £42m, but the Spanish club are looking to tie down his future for the long term.
Atletico are aware that the midfielder’s current cut-price fee is popping up on the radar of other European clubs, which will prompt them to take swift action.
The club acknowledge that the current terms of his contract are outdated relative to his importance to the team, making 24 La Liga appearances so far this season.
Partey has been a key figure for the club and was pivotal in both legs of Atletico’s Champions League win over Liverpool, which secured their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Head coach of the side, Diego Simeone is also keen to hold onto Partey, who came through the Spanish side’s academy.
The club are also happy with his attitude throughout the contract negotiations and are confident they can offer a deal the player will be willing to accept.
The report states Partey is in line to take home an annual pay packet of around £4.1m, a big increase on his current salary.
