Barcelona’s Pursuit of Thomas Partey Hits a Snag: No Return to Spain in 2025

Barcelona’s hopes of signing Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey have taken a setback, with reports suggesting that a move back to Spain in 2025 is unlikely. The Ghanaian international, set to become a free agent next summer, will have the freedom to choose his next club. However, according to CaughtOffside, Partey is not expected to join Barcelona.

Partey, who previously made his mark at Atletico Madrid before joining Arsenal in 2020, has been a crucial player for the Gunners. Despite an injury that limited his playing time last season, he remains a key part of Arsenal’s squad this year. With his contract set to expire in less than 10 months and Arsenal having signed Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad, a contract renewal for Partey seems uncertain.
