Napoli ready to swap forward Arkadiusz Milik for Ghana ace Thomas Partey

Italian side Napoli are interested in a swap deal involving Polish forward Arkadiusz Milik and Atletico Madrid star Thomas Partey in the summer transfer window.

The Naples based club are the latest to show interest in the Ghanaian after the Rojiblancos approached the Serie A side for the services of Milik.

Milik has a year left on his contract with Napoli but has refused to sign a new deal with the club following interest from the La Liga outfit.

Atletico are believed to want an exchange which will involve Spanish striker Diego Costa, however, the Italians prefer the Ghana international who has a release clause of 50 million Euros.

Meanwhile, the 27-year old remains English Premier League side Arsenal's number one target.

Thomas Partey is enjoying his best campaign in Europe this season, after commanding a role in Diego Simeone's team with some impressive displays.

The Black Stars midfielder has made 30 La Liga appearances this season, and has been the key cog for the Red and whites since the return of the league following the coronavirus break.

Partey has also been linked with moves to Juventus and French champions Paris Saint Germain.
