Partey is expected to be on the move next summer.
The former Atletico Madrid star will be a free agent and he will have the freedom to choose his next destination but according to a report via CaughtOffside, the Arsenal star is unlikely to join Barcelona.
The transfer expert has ruled out a return to Spain in the summer of 2025.
Partey made a name for himself while playing for Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. After a five-year-long spell with their first team, he made the move to Arsenal towards the end of 2020.
It didn’t take him long to establish himself in their starting XI and he became one of their mainstays in no time.
The Ghana international was one of the key players for Arsenal in the 2022/23 season as they challenged Manchester City for the league title until the very end.
While a hamstring injury kept him out of the thick of things for the majority of last season, Partey remains an integral part of their first team having started in each of their first three Premier League outings this season.
While the 31-year-old defensive midfielder remains an important part of their first team, his future is not certain by any means. Partey’s current contract runs out in less than 10 months and having signed Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad, it looks like the Gunners won’t push to renew the former Atletico midfielder’s contract. — Thehardtackle
