Barcelona in talks to sign Arsenal veteran as a free-agent this summer: Reports
- Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey, whose contract expires in June 2025, faces an uncertain future amid interest from Barcelona and other clubs this summer.
- Partey's stalled contract negotiations and Arsenal's midfield rebuild plans, along with Barcelona's Financial Fair Play constraints, have spurred talks between the clubs and Partey's camp.
- The 31-year-old Ghana international, settled in London with his family and close to manager Mikel Arteta, has played 35 league games this season but seeks a new deal reflecting his value without a pay cut.
- Partey appeared in 52 games across competitions this season with four goals, while Arsenal prepares to sign Martín Zubimendi for £51 million and invest heavily in midfield reinforcements.
- If Partey leaves on a free transfer, Barcelona would acquire an experienced midfielder without a fee, affecting Arsenal’s squad composition and plans for next season’s title challenge.
