Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey is contemplating a return to La Liga following a challenging season plagued by injuries at Arsenal. While his future at the London club remains uncertain, Partey has ruled out a potential move back to his former club, Atlético Madrid.
Partey’s tenure at Arsenal has been marred by recurring injuries, limiting him to just six appearances throughout the season.
With rising star Declan Rice shining in his absence, Partey found himself sidelined, prompting speculation about his future in North London.
Despite reported interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, Partey is committed to seeing out his contract with Arsenal, which runs until 2025.
However, should he depart, the midfielder has expressed a desire to return to La Liga, where he previously enjoyed success with Atlético Madrid.
According to Steve Kay of FootballTransfers, Real Sociedad and Almeria have emerged as potential destinations for Partey.
While both Spanish clubs are keen on securing his services, Real Sociedad appears to be the frontrunner, offering a transfer fee of £22 million.
Real Sociedad’s interest in Partey underscores their ambition to bolster their midfield ranks, with the experienced Ghanaian seen as a valuable addition to their squad.
However, Almeria’s pursuit of Partey could be jeopardized by their precarious position at the bottom of the La Liga table, with relegation looming as a potential setback.
As Partey weighs his options, the prospect of a return to La Liga presents an enticing opportunity for the midfielder to reignite his career in familiar surroundings.
With negotiations ongoing between Arsenal and interested clubs, Partey’s future remains uncertain, but a move back to Spain could be on the horizon.
