Ghana star Thomas Partey is attracting interest from Serie A giants Inter Milan, according to reports in Italy.
Partey is a rock in the heart of the Atletico midfield and consistently strong performances has led Ausilio and Marotta to pursue him as a target.
Although Inter are keen on Thomas Partey, they will face stern competition; reports from Spanish newspaper AS suggest that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wants Partey in Manchester as an heir to Fernandinho, who turns 34 at the start of May.
The 24-year-old who is currently on international assignment with the Black Stars has made as many as 34 appearances in all competitions for Atletico Madrid this season.
