- Arsenal are nearing an agreement with Thomas Partey on a new two-year contract
- The 31-year-old midfielder’s current deal expires at the end of the season
- Interest in Partey has come from Barcelona, Juventus, and Saudi clubs
Arsenal are reportedly in advanced talks with Thomas Partey over a new contract as they look to secure his long-term future, according to Football Insider.
The 31-year-old Ghanaian midfielder, who joined Arsenal from Atlético Madrid in 2020, is in the final months of his current deal, which expires at the end of the season.
With the summer transfer window approaching, Partey has attracted interest from top European clubs such as Barcelona and Juventus, as well as multiple Saudi Arabian teams. Despite this, Arsenal are said to be close to finalizing a contract extension with him.
Earlier in the season, the club was reportedly open to letting Partey leave on a free transfer. However, his impressive form since returning from injury has led to a change of stance, and the Gunners now want to keep him as a key figure in midfield.
Partey has played 47 games for Mikel Arteta’s side in all competitions this season, highlighting his value to the team. His absence was particularly felt during Arsenal’s Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain, where his defensive presence was noticeably missed. He is expected to feature in the second leg in Paris.
Sources indicate Partey is content at Arsenal and is willing to sign a new two-year contract. Nonetheless, if a deal isn’t reached soon, he may explore options abroad, with interest from both European giants and clubs in the Middle East continuing to grow.
