Management of Atletico Madrid midfielder Partey scrambling after stray social media post

The management team of Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas Partey were scrambling yesterday.

On their Instagram feed, JJ Sports reposted a poll run by Transfermarkt regarding Partey and the clubs he could join this summer.

While the Atletico Madrid option was not offered, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester United and PSG were all listed.

The post was quickly taken down and JJ Sports offered an explanation.

"Given the publication that was made today, Wednesday, April 29, 2020, on our Instagram account, regarding the future of our player Thomas Partey, from J.J. Sport Managers we want to convey that this publication was not approved by the management of the company.

"It has opened an internal investigation to find out what could have happened. We are sure that this was not intended by any of our workers and it is probably an unfortunate mistake.

"The publication has been removed as soon as we have been aware of its existence, and the keys to all of our social profiles have been modified to restrict access only to essential personnel. With this statement we want to give a little clarity to possible misunderstandings that could happen."
