Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey could be on the move in the January transfer window, as he becomes eligible to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside England.
The Ghanaian international, whose contract with the Gunners expires in June 2025, has yet to agree to an extension, raising doubts about his future at the Emirates.
Partey has been a pivotal figure for Arsenal since his 50 million euro move from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
When fit, he has anchored Mikel Arteta’s midfield with precision passing, defensive acumen, and leadership on the pitch.
This season, Partey has been instrumental in Arsenal’s Premier League push, delivering commanding performances, including a standout showing in the Gunners’ 3-1 comeback win over Brentford on New Year’s Day.
However, despite his contributions, Arsenal have not reached a renewal agreement, leaving Partey’s future in limbo.
Barcelona have reportedly expressed interest in the 31-year-old, whose ability to control games makes him an appealing prospect for the Catalan giants.
