Thomas Partey is confident he will stay at Atletico Madrid after being linked with Arsenal , Manchester City and Manchester United.

The 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in La Liga and has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe.

United, City and Arsenal have been linked with a move for Partey as all three clubs are in the market for a new central midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window.

Partey, meanwhile, has a €50 million (£43m) release clause in his deal with Atletico which runs until 2023.

But the Ghana international admits he would be reluctant to leave Diego Simeone’s side.

I’ve grown up in Atleti and I am sure I will stay here,’ Parety told Cadena COPE. ‘I don’t know of another place that will understand how I play like they do here'.
