Atletico Madrid are striving to tie Thomas Partey down to a new deal and raise his current release clause to deter interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, reports Goal.com.
Partey has been one of Atleti's top performers in both LaLiga and the Champions League this season with his stock soaring as a result.
The Ghana international has a modest release clause in his contract, too, which currently stands at just €50m.
With Partey's current deal running until 2023, Atletico are looking to extend that to 2025 and double the release clause to €100m.

While that is unlikely to deter the Premier League duo, who are both in the market to land a midfielder of Partey's ilk, Atletico could at least rest easy that they wouldn't lose the 26-year-old for below market value.
Partey has been a consistent face in the Atletico midfield this season and played a key role in Atletico's progression to the next round of the Champions League at Liverpool's expense.
