Barcelona are in advanced talks to sign Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey, who is set to leave Arsenal as a free agent at the end of June.
The 31-year-old has failed to reach a contract extension with the premier league club, paving the way for a possible switch to La Liga.
According to Fichajes, discussions between Barcelona and Partey’s representatives have progressed well, despite interest from other european and saudi clubs.
Sporting director Deco is believed to be championing the deal, impressed by Partey’s physical strength, tactical awareness, and champions league experience.
The move would suit Barcelona’s financial model, with the free transfer seen as a smart way to add midfield depth.
A formal approach is expected in the coming days, as the Catalan club aims to wrap up the deal before pre-season begins.
