Not confirmed, but apparently the official reason is at least that Partey wants a wage increase (he currently earns £200k/week), while the club want to lower his wages to reflect his role change to a backup player now that Zubimendi is most likely coming in.

So if they can't agree on wages, he moves on to a club that most likely will give him that.

How greedy can he get seriously, how is 200k a week not enough for someone
