FC Barcelona has opened talks with agents of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, according to reports. This development comes as negotiations for a contract extension with Arsenal have been slow-moving. Partey is set to become a free agent at the end of June, and while Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants to keep him, Partey is seeking a deal that reflects his worth.
Partey has expressed his love for Arsenal and London, but his current contract situation has attracted interest from other clubs. FC Barcelona sees Partey as a potential bargain for their midfield, with coach Hansi Flick reportedly a big fan of the player. Saudi clubs have also shown interest in the Ghanaian midfielder.
Partey joined Arsenal in 2020 but has struggled with injuries, limiting his playing time. Despite this, he remains a valuable asset to the team. The outcome of the talks between Barcelona and Partey’s agents is uncertain, but it is clear that the Ghanaian midfielder has options to consider as his contract with Arsenal nears its end.
