Saudi Arabian clubs are once again eyeing Thomas Partey, the talented midfielder of Ghana’s Black Stars, along with his Arsenal teammate Gabriel Jesus, reports Football Insider.
Last summer, Saudi Pro League clubs showed keen interest in Partey, who opted to stay focused on Arsenal at the time.
Among the clubs expressing interest were Al Ahli, Al Nassr, and Al Khaleej. Despite the attention, Partey remained committed to Arsenal. However, with his future at the London club uncertain, Saudi clubs are back in the picture.
Barcelona is also keeping a close watch on Partey as they seek to bolster their midfield in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Although they had him on their radar in January 2024, concrete interest from the Catalan side didn’t materialize then.
Now, a report from Catalan journalist Adrian Sanchez indicates that Partey is back on Barcelona’s shortlist for a potential summer move. Arsenal seems willing to entertain offers for the former Atletico Madrid player, reportedly setting the price tag between £20 to £25 million.
Should Partey depart, Arsenal has reportedly earmarked Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz as his replacement. Partey, who joined Arsenal in 2020 on a five-year deal, now has just one year remaining on his contract.
