Barcelona wants to sign Ghanaian star Thomas Partey.
The player’s contract will expire in June, so he will become a free agent. Struggling with financial issues, Barcelona could strengthen their squad by adding a strong alternative through this deal.
There is still uncertainty regarding contract renewal talks on Arsenal’s side. During this process, head coach Mikel Arteta has been trying to support his player.
Partey shares a strong bond with the coach, which is why renewing his contract is still on the table.
The 31-year-old star wants a good deal to stay at Arsenal.
Due to the slow progress of negotiations, clubs like Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have started showing interest in the player.
The Ghanaian star, who was once transferred for £45 million, has delivered quite an effective performance at the English club. However, there have been periods when he struggled with injuries.
Because of this and his age, Arsenal is not very keen on renewing the contract.
The player has received offers from Saudi clubs, but Barcelona is in a more eager position.
