FC Barcelona continues to seek intelligent ways to strengthen its squad, and this time they have set their sights on an experienced player who could arrive without transfer cost. It is Thomas Partey, the player from Arsenal whose contract ends this coming June 30 and will become a free agent starting July 1.

The 32-year-old Ghanaian had previously sparked interest from the Catalan club months ago when initial contacts were made to explore his potential arrival. Now, with the end of his contract in England approaching, Barcelona sees the perfect opportunity to incorporate him without paying a transfer fee.

Thomas Partey already has experience in LaLiga.

Partey is a player with experience in the Premier League and European competitions, known for his ability to regain possession and provide solidity in midfield. His arrival would give Barça an added level of quality and stability in a key position, where they aim to reinforce the team to compete at the highest level.

The agreement between Barcelona and Partey is close to being finalized, with a two-year contract that would tie him to the club until 2027. Additionally, the club would have the option to extend it for an additional year, potentially prolonging his stay until 2028 if both parties agree.

This operation, not involving a transfer fee, fits perfectly with Barcelona's current financial strategy, aiming to strengthen without significant expenses. Thomas Partey, with his experience and versatility, would be a significant signing for a team that aims to return to the spotlight in Spain and Europe.

Pending official details, the potential arrival of Thomas Partey excites the Culés fans, who see this addition as an intelligent way to enhance talent while respecting the club's finances. Barcelona is confident in closing this deal soon and continuing to take firm steps towards sporting recovery.
