Arsenal talks to renew midfielder’s contract stall | OneFootball

Arsenal are at risk of losing Thomas Partey as a free agent next month with contract renewal talks having stalled.

Partey’s deal at Arsenal expires on June 30th and negotiations have failed to find a breakthrough on an extension. Several sides are monitoring the Ghana international’s situation, including AC Milan, Barcelona, Fenerbahce and Saudi Pro League clubs.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that talks between Arsenal and Partey’s camp are ‘not advancing’ with a ‘concrete chance’ that the midfielder departs the Emirates.

The 32-year-old joined Arsenal from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and has since made 167 appearances in all competitions. Partey has been plagued with fitness issues during his time in North London, but played 52 games in 2024/25, the highest return of his Arsenal career.

Partey discussed his future last week. Speaking to 3 Sports, he said: “I think the first thing is where are you happy and where do you feel at home. At the end of the day you’ve been in football, you’ve been in different teams.

“Then it’s about what is your next objective what do you want to achieve next. You still have to look at all this and at the end of the day we all have a family that needs money, this is our mind.

“We are not getting younger. There are a lot of things where you have to look now with a family, where you want them to be happy. When you go out nobody is going to destroy your family, these are things you have to look at. When you are young you just anywhere.

“I’m an Arsenal fan, I can’t decide anything and just have to leave it to may agent and the club. Me, I just want to enjoy football.”
