Barcelona and Atletico Madrid eye Thomas Partey for the summer move

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are reportedly eyeing a move for Thomas Partey who will become a free agent in the summer of 2025. Both clubs see him as a potential addition to strengthen their squads, particularly given his experience and physicality in midfield.

Partey, a 31-year-old Ghanaian international, has had an inconsistent tenure at Arsenal due to injuries, missing a total of 80 games over the past four seasons.

Despite these challenges, he has shown moments of brilliance that highlight his capabilities as a top player. His previous stint at Atlético Madrid under Diego Simeone helped him develop into a world-class midfielder, making a return to the Wanda Metropolitano an enticing prospect for both the player and the club.

Barcelona is currently seeking to bolster its defensive midfield options after facing vulnerabilities in that area this season. The addition of Partey could provide the necessary cover and combative presence needed to enhance their defensive unit.
