London, UK – Wednesday, April 23, 2025 – Arsenal have reportedly opened discussions with midfielder Thomas Partey regarding a potential new contract.
This development, as reported by @TheAthleticFC, comes as manager Mikel Arteta is keen to retain the experienced Ghanaian international.
While no agreement has been reached yet, talks are understood to be ongoing between the club and Partey’s representatives.
The 31-year-old, who has been a key figure for Arsenal when fit, also has other options available as his current deal approaches its expiry.
The situation is further complicated by reports suggesting that Italian midfielder Jorginho is expected to leave Arsenal.
With his contract also ending, the departure of Jorginho could pave the way for Partey to remain at the Emirates Stadium.
Partey joined Arsenal from Atlético Madrid in 2020 and, despite some injury setbacks, has proven to be a vital player in Arteta’s midfield.
His potential stay would provide stability and experience to the Gunners’ squad.
However, the player is also expected to consider other opportunities if a suitable agreement cannot be reached with Arsenal. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the future of both midfielders at the North London club.
