Ibrahim Sannie Daara the guy who used to run comms for Ghana’s FA—basically just gave Thomas Partey the green light to chase that Saudi cash now that he’s done at Arsenal. Honestly, can you blame him? Partey’s 31, a free agent, and let’s be real, Arsenal fans barely got to see his best with all those injuries. Five years, 167 games, a handful of goals… not exactly legend status, but he did alright.
Now there’s all this noise about Saudi clubs, like Al Hilal and Al-Ahli, sniffing around. Even some big European names—Barcelona, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce—apparently poking their noses in. But listen, Daara flat-out told 3Sports that Saudi Arabia is where the real money’s at for Partey right now. And he’s not wrong. At this point in his career, you’d be mad not to at least consider it.
He said something like, “Yeah, Saudi clubs are piling up, even more than before. Oh, and France and Italy are in the mix too.” Classic transfer window chaos. But then he goes, “After July 5, Thomas can finally figure out where he’s headed next. Let’s just give him a few days to breathe.”
And honestly? Daara’s advice is simple: “Bro, you’re 31. Think about your future. The Saudi money is nuts. Take it. Secure the bag.” Can’t argue with that.
So now everyone’s just waiting on Partey’s big decision. My guess? He’s gonna follow the cash. Wouldn’t you?
