According to people close to Partey, Arsenal is unlikely to prolong his stay as there have been no formal contract negotiations between the two parties prior to the 2025–2026 season.
The 31-year-old, who joined the Gunners in 2020 in a spectacular deadline-day move of £45 million from Atletico Madrid, now looks destined to leave as Arsenal gets ready to restructure its midfield.
The club is targeting Real Sociedad's MartÃn Zubimendi as part of a midfield rebuild because both Partey and Jorginho's contracts are coming to an end.
Juventus, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain have expressed interest in Partey due to his availability. Although Saudi Arabian teams have also expressed interest, the Ghanaian international would rather stay in Europe.
His current favorite option seems to be returning to Spain, where Barcelona is supposedly in the lead to sign him. But he hasn't made up his mind on what to do next.
