Barcelona is in hot pursuit of a seasoned Arsenal midfielder, aiming to secure a cost-effective deal to bolster their squad.
Whether it is Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, or Marc Casado, the La Liga champions showed their midfield class, but ultimately lack sufficient alternatives to give teams a tough time at important moments.
There is a wealth of top names linked to the full-back positions, however, the financial positions of the club have put them in a position to finally pursue a clever free-transfer option to partner.
The target is Thomas Partey of Arsenal, who is a 31-year-old Ghanaian midfielder whose contract expires in June 2025.
The Sun claims Barcelona have opened up talks with Partey for a potential Bosman transfer and think of him as a dependable experience for Huuleven.
With a strong presence and a no-nonsense approach, Partey has been a regular for Arsenal, who finished the Premier League in second position this season.
Hansi is impressed by Partey in possession and believes he fits well in the company’s midfield system.
Despite the interest of Saudi clubs due to the experience and versatility of Partey, he is still a viable option. Barcelona’s interest in Partey is real.
They have taken steps to go ahead with that process, putting them in pole position to sign him, but also because they have liked him for some time.
Partey is happy where he is; however, he is looking for a contract that reflects his worth, which is not dissimilar to Barcelona’s recruitment policy, and most importantly, is to try to find quality without the transfer fee.
The move to Barcelona could be a win-win situation. Partey gets a new challenge at an attractive club while Barcelona gets depth in midfield.
In the end, if this transfer does happen,it could be a stroke of genius for Barcelona, in terms of getting experience, whilst factoring in their financial acumen to establish their legacy in La Liga.
