FC Barcelona eyes Thomas Partey as potential summer signing
FC Barcelona is reportedly eyeing Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey as part of their summer transfer plans, with rumors swirling about a potential move for the Arsenal player.
According to journalist Adrian Sanchez, via Mas que Pelotas, FC Barcelona is considering making an offer to Arsenal for the 30-year-old midfielder.
The Spanish club is purportedly interested in securing Partey’s services on a loan basis for the upcoming season.
While FC Barcelona is keen on acquiring Partey, Arsenal is said to be contemplating selling the midfielder for a fee ranging between £20 million and £25 million, equivalent to €23.3 million to €29.15 million.
Reports suggest that Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz has emerged as a potential replacement for the Ghanaian if he departs the Emirates Stadium.
Partey’s current season has been marred by injuries, limiting his playing time to just 13 matches and 634 minutes on the pitch.
Despite his setbacks, the former Atletico Madrid player remains a coveted asset in the transfer market, with a market value of €20 million on Transfermarkt.
His contract with Arsenal is set to expire in June 2025, adding to the speculation surrounding his future.
In addition to FC Barcelona’s interest, Juventus is also rumored to be monitoring Partey’s situation closely, indicating the widespread appeal of the midfielder among top European clubs.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the race for Partey’s signature is set to intensify, with FC Barcelona’s pursuit of the Ghanaian midfielder adding an intriguing subplot to the upcoming transfer market dealings.
With negotiations ongoing and speculation rife, Partey’s future destination remains uncertain, leaving fans and pundits alike eagerly awaiting further developments.
