Barcelona target Arsenal's Thomas Partey as Blaugrana look to capitalise on free agent market

Despite making an impressive start to their 2024-25 campaign under Hansi Flick, the Catalan giants continue to look for more players to further strengthen their squad and Relevo reports that they are keen on signing Partey from Arsenal next summer after his current deal expires.

Barcelona continue to struggle financially which means it is nearly impossible for them to pay hefty transfer fees to rope in quality players. As a result, they are now looking for players who will become free agents at the end of the current season.

The Ghanian midfielder's importance at Arsenal has been deteriorating since Declan Rice's move from West Ham to the Emirates last summer. Partey, who has been struggling since last season with injuries, has reportedly been looking for a way out of the club.

The 31-year-old, who has appeared in nine matches this season and has scored once, will be next seen in action for Mikel Arteta's side on Saturday as they take on Bournemouth in a Premier League away fixture.
