Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 48351, member: 636"] Ibrahim Sannie Daara wants Thomas Partey to chase the Saudi Arabian riches. The former Ghana Football Association Communications Director believes the midfielder should take the money from the Middle East. Partey became a free agent after Arsenal refused to extend his deal beyond five years. The 31-year-old player has multiple options across Europe and Saudi Arabia. Daara thinks the financial rewards from Saudi clubs make the most sense for someone at this stage of their career. Al Hilal and Al-Ahli have emerged as the frontrunners among Saudi Arabian teams chasing Partey. Barcelona, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahce represent the European competition for his signature. French and Italian clubs have also joined the pursuit according to Daara. The former Atletico Madrid star can focus on his next move after July 5th. Multiple Saudi teams have increased their interest beyond the original bidders. Daara spoke directly with Partey about his future plans and offered personal guidance. He believes the midfielder should consider his long-term financial security at age 31. The tempting Saudi offers could set Partey up for life after football. European clubs might offer prestige but Saudi Arabia provides serious money. Daara expects Partey will land at a quality destination regardless of his choice. Arsenal fans watched Partey appear in 167 games during his London spell. He managed nine goals and seven assists during those five seasons. The Black Stars captain helped Arsenal compete at the highest level. His departure ends a significant chapter for both player and club. [/QUOTE]
