Atletico Madrid player, Thomas Partey is better than Manchester United star, Paul Pogba, according to his agent, after reports started circulating that heavyweight clubs are interested in the Ghanaian.
At 25 years of age, the footballer is approaching his peak and might exit Spain ahead of next season.
Pogba’s future is up in the air as well at his club, and Partey’s agent has revealed that his client is a better all-round midfielder.
Jose Daniel Jimenez Pozanco said to FcInterNews, “He is like Pogba, he’s a box to box player, but he is better than the Frenchman.
“That is because he does more defensive work. I feel that because he is African, he gets much less media coverage than the Manchester United player.
“I first watched him play in Ghana, I immediately recognised his qualities and thought that if he could improve on a tactical level, he would be one of the best in the world.
“I told him he must listen, learn and remain humble. A person should always remember where they came from and he has got where he has through hard work. Nobody handed him anything.”
“There is no reason why he won’t move to Italy. Inter, like Atleti are a top team.
“He has a €50m release clause and in football anything is possible, just look at Diego Godin leaving to join Inter and Antoine Griezmann possibly on his way to Barcelona.”
