Barcelona will reportedly dispatch scouts to watch 31-year-old Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey in the UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Thomas Partey is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The Catalan giants are keen on reinforcing their midfield unit in the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Arsenal midfielder. The Blaugrana will dispatch scouts to watch the Ghanaian international in the UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a report by Football Transfers has claimed that Arsenal’s contract talks with the African midfielder have not progressed much. Partey has entered the final few months of his ongoing deal, and he is stalling on discussions over new terms at the North London club.
Thomas Partey and his Arsenal spell so far
Thomas Partey has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League since joining Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in a deal worth €50 million in October 2020. While the 31-year-old has struggled with fitness issues throughout his spell with the North London club, he has been a dependable performer in the middle of the park.
The Ghanaian international has turned out over 150 times thus far for Bayern Munich while chipping in with nine goals and seven assists. However, Partey faces an uncertain future at Arsenal after entering the final few months of his contract. The situation has piqued the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe, with Barcelona among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
La Liga return on the horizon?
Barcelona’s interest in Thomas Partey makes sense. The Catalan giants are combing the market for a midfielder heading into the summer transfer window as they look to add an experienced player to the midfield unit. So, the Arsenal midfielder has emerged as a viable target for FC Barcelona.
Recent reports have claimed that the experienced midfielder prefers a move to Barcelona, and the latest update has revealed that he is stalling on contract talks with Arsenal. Meanwhile, the Blaugrana will send scouts to watch Partey in the UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid this week.
So, with Partey closing in on leaving Arsenal as a free agent, a Bosman move to Barcelona might be on the cards. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the 31-year-old Ghanaian international.
