UEFA Champions League
FC Barcelona has intensified contacts to close the signing of Thomas Partey as soon as possible. The Ghanaian midfielder, whose contract with Arsenal expires on June 30, has decided not to renew with the London team and will be free to sign with any club from July 1. In this context, Barça has positioned strongly and is already in advanced discussions with his environment to secure his incorporation for the upcoming season.
The Barcelona sports management, led by Deco, considers Partey an ideal market opportunity: an experienced, versatile player with no transfer cost. His profile fits perfectly into the plans of the project led by Hansi Flick, who seeks to strengthen the midfield with strength, positioning, and experience in major competitions. The club's idea is to present a formal offer in the coming days, which could make him the second signing of the summer after the arrival of goalkeeper Joan García.
Not Continuing at Arsenal
Partey, 32, has been clear with his decision: he wants a new challenge and has rejected Arsenal's renewal proposal. Although he has had offers from other leagues, his priority is to continue in European football at the highest level, and Barcelona's interest particularly appeals to him due to the sporting project and the opportunity to return to Spain, where he already shone with Atlético de Madrid.

There is optimism within Barça. They know they are not the only interested party, but they trust in closing a deal soon and beating possible rivals. If no setbacks arise, Thomas Partey could be wearing the blue and garnet colors in a few weeks, strengthening a key area to return the club to the pinnacle of European football.
