Barcelona have made Arsenal’s Thomas Partey one of their top targets for the summer transfer window as the Catalan club looks for cheap options to add to their squad.
The Ghana star is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium in 2025 and according to Adrian Sanchez, Barcelona may look to take advantage of this over the summer months.
The Catalan club have made the midfielder one of their top target and will be hoping to secure a deal for the 30-year-old at a relatively low price. The La Liga outfit are still dealing with major financial issues and they are set to restrict the Spanish giants’ spending once again during the upcoming transfer window.
Arsenal are likely to be open to selling Partey this summer as the player reportedly wanted to leave the Gunners ahead of the winter transfer window amid interest from Juventus.
It remains to be seen if Barcelona make an official move for the Ghana star over the coming months but it doesn’t look like a new deal is coming the midfielder’s way at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal should sell Thomas Partey if Barcelona submit offer
Partey has been at Arsenal since 2020 and has gone on to feature in 112 matches for the Premier League club. Last season was the midfielder’s most impressive in North London as he played a pivotal role in the Gunners’ Premier League title charge.
However, the current campaign has been the opposite as the 30-year-old has spent most of it on the sidelines injured.
The former Atletico Madrid star has played just 13 games for Mikel Arteta but has started the last two clashes against Chelsea and Tottenham.
Partey is still a good player but with Jorginho set to pen a new deal at Arsenal, there is no real need for the Ghana star, especially if the North London club look to sign a new midfielder ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
With all due respect, you people should stop coming to public forum like this to impose ignorance on majority of Arsenal fans. How on earth are you advising Arsenal to sell Partey, our engine room? Even your Bruno Guimereas is no match for Partey. This is a player, who , anytime we see him in the central or defensive midfield position, we’re 90% sure of winning. The club has to extend his contract to 2026 and ward off any approach from anywhere.
He’s on 250k so he’s gonna want a year deal on parity with Kai probably and at best we’ll get 30 games out of him from 180 games in all competitions over those three years and next to nothing should he be sold before that extension ends. We used to carry 3 or 4 injury prone players throughout Wengers reign every season generally but Arsenal today can’t afford to have more then 2 financially and tactically for Arteta’s and Edu’s final stages of the squad rebuild. Even Zin and Jesus are becoming less important to us because they are not able to sustain the intensity needed to be an Arsenal player we can rely on. We are evolving every 6 months and its down to fine margins of how we can improve to topple ManC. We are going to have to get used to our hearts being broken when a fan favorite is let go now, it’s all about building a machine that doesn’t break down so easily.
Great insight…eyes on the price

Dear barca fans
We’re beyond holding on to fan favorites for the sake of broken hearts. It’s about building a machine that won’t break down.
Dear Barca,
30-35 million euros will do. Get Thomas Partey. He is a good player, but we need to move on. He is getting old, very injury prone, and his wages is high. Invest the money to a younger player.
