Thomas Partey is a midfielder of Arsenal
Arsenal have initiated discussions with Thomas Partey regarding a potential contract extension, aiming to secure the midfielder’s services beyond the 2024/25 season.
The Ghanaian international’s current deal is set to expire next summer, making him eligible for a free transfer.
Although earlier indications suggested that Partey might leave after four and a half years at the club, his recent reintegration into the squad appears to have shifted the narrative.
Talks are now underway as the Gunners consider retaining the 31-year-old beyond his current term.
According to reports initially shared by The Athletic, Arsenal have already engaged in preliminary discussions with Partey’s representatives.
The midfielder is reportedly open to remaining in London if the club offers him a two-year extension.
He is also said to be amenable to signing a shorter one-year contract, provided it includes an option for an additional year.
Despite his willingness to stay at the Emirates, Partey is expected to explore other opportunities if an agreement cannot be reached, with interest from overseas clubs still a possibility.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi, who nearly joined Liverpool last summer, may also influence the club’s stance on Partey’s future.
