There have been rumors about the Ghanaian moving to Saudi Arabia earlier this week after being linked to a transfer away from Arsenal.
He reportedly has interest from various Saudi clubs, and Arsenal has given him permission to talk about a transfer.
The Gunners will permit the 30-year-old to depart if a firm bid comes in this summer, according to a report from 90min.
This comes after European transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano stated that Partey was on Arsenal’s shopping list to be sold.

The English side, according to the Italian journalist, has no intention of renewing his contract and is already planning his departure.
Despite many celebrities already relocating there, Saudi Arabia is still a potential destination for the former Atletico Madrid player.
After Cristiano Ronaldo switched from Al Nassr to Al-Ittihad in January, current Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema did the same.
N’Golo Kante recently switched from Chelsea to Al-Ittihad, while this summer, Kalidou Koulibali, Edouard Mendy, and Hakim Ziyech are all expected to join with Saudi clubs.
