Athletico Madrid are fearful of a club whisking Partey away having seen how Manchester City in the summer activated Rodri's moderate release clause to take him away from the Wanda Metropolitano.

Although after his last contract extension it seemed his release clause had risen to 80 million euros, but some media reports claim that signing the midfielder from the rojiblanco will only cost a moderate 50 million euros in today's market.

Be it that Thomas Partey's release clause is 50 million or 80 million; Atlético  Madrid, do not want a repeat of the Rodri situation where Manchester City paid 70 million euros for their prized asset in the summer and will surely do all within their power to increase his clause to three figure sum.

Thomas Partey has become a revelation this season at Atlético  Madrid after years struggling to establish himself in the team.

Despite the signing of Marcos Llorente from Real Madrid a player who plays in the same role as Partey, the Ghanaian midfielder's performance has made him an untouchable in Diego Simeone's set up.

So far this season, Partey has played 9 games scoring 2 goals.

Coach of the side Diego Simeone  has been paying glowing tribute to the midfielder for his hard work which is now paying off.

Simeone recently pointed out: "I could say so many things ... But some I have to shut up. It makes me very happy about Thomas. If I came from an English or German team it would be ... but it's from the quarry and it's only Thomas. He's been working for many years. Don't stop. Football is always the next game. "

Atlético  Madrid want to increase Thomas Partey's termination clause by over 100 million and It is not surprising that Atlético  Madrid want to reward Thomas Partey, although he has a contract until 2023.

This will see the player rise into the top tier earners for the Rojiblancos, and will also allow the Athletico to increase his termination clause significantly to 100 million euros or even more.
