Arsenal shocked fans by reversing their decision on Thomas Partey’s future. The Gunners now plan to offer him a new contract under one key condition.
Thomas Partey joined Arsenal in summer 2020 from Atletico Madrid for £45m. The 31-year-old Ghana international has battled injury setbacks but remains a vital force when fit. Mikel Arteta trusts him as one of the Premier League’s top defensive midfielders.
Partey has showcased his versatility on the pitch. He has played 11 times as a right-back for the club this season. In the 2023-24 campaign, he has turned out three times in that role. He has amassed 154 appearances, scored eight goals, and provided seven assists.
Arsenal Insider reveals that the club plans to extend Partey’s stay at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners value his deep-lying playmaker role and appreciate his ability to cover at right-back. They insist he takes a pay cut to secure the deal.

CaughtOffside reports that Partey is open to a contract extension. The midfielder remains cautious and does not rush into a new deal. He knows his contract expires at season’s end. Clubs from Spain, Italy, and the Saudi Pro League are interested.
Juventus and Barcelona also express interest in the talented midfielder. Partey could leave Arsenal as a free agent—a move that might not match his current financial rewards. At 31, he knows this is his final chance for a big payday.
