Thomas Partey is undecided about extending his contract with Arsenal. The reason? Interest from FC Barcelona is starting to turn the Ghanaian midfielder’s head.

Having joined Arsenal in October 2020, Thomas Partey, who celebrates his 32nd birthday today, is under contract until June 30, 2025. This season, he has established himself as a key figure for the Gunners, racking up 52 appearances across all competitions, with 4 goals and 3 assists to his name. With his contract nearing its end, the Ghana international is taking his time before making a decision.

Renowned for his power and tactical intelligence, Thomas Partey could be eyeing a new challenge in La Liga. Barcelona, eager to strengthen their midfield, are closely monitoring the situation. For Arsenal, keeping the Black Star remains a top priority, but the final decision rests with the player, who wants to weigh all his options before committing.
