Barcelona are reportedly in the race to sign Thomas Partey on a free transfer
ad his contract with Arsenal is set to expire at the end of the season.
Partey has played a major role in the Gunners’ rise under Mikel Arteta and remains a key player for the side, starting all of their Premier League matches so far this term
But despite his importance to Arsenal, sources have told TEAMtalk that Partey is unlikely to be offered an extension on his current £200,000 per week deal.
According to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona have identified Partey as a key target as Hansi Flick looks to bolster his options in midfield.
It’s claimed that the Catalans showed interest in Partey over the summer but were unable to seal a deal as Arteta was unwilling to lose him at the time.
Barcelona’s interest in Partey remains and due to his contract situation, the LaLiga giants will be able to open talks with him over a pre-contract agreement in January ahead of a potential free transfer this summer.
Barcelona are still limited in terms of what they can spend on players due to their ongoing financial problems and therefore, signing an experienced player like Partey on a free would be a great bit of business.
