Arsenal’s summer plans could be disrupted by a major exit.
The club has been trying to shape its squad for the upcoming season.
But, not all negotiations are going as hoped.
One of their longest-serving midfielders could be on his way out.
Talks over a new contract have reached a dead end.
Arsenal wanted to find a solution, but so far, no progress has been made.
This player featured heavily last season.
He was a regular in Mikel Arteta’s team, playing over 50 matches across all competitions.
His role was not just limited to breaking up attacks. He brought stability and experience to the midfield.
At 32, he still has much to offer, but Arsenal have not reached an agreement to keep him.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the situation is now serious.
There is a real chance that the player could leave the club as a free agent.
Other teams are already monitoring the situation, aware that a proven midfielder with Premier League experience could soon be available without a transfer fee.
That player is Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian midfielder’s time in North London may be coming to an end.
After years of service and strong performances, Partey now stands at a crossroads.
Arsenal must decide quickly. If they do not act, they risk losing him for nothing.
The next few days will be crucial. One way or another, Thomas Partey’s future will soon be clear.
And Arsenal may need to start planning for life without him.
Arsenal already have Declan Rice who can step up and take the additional responsibility.
Also, they are closing in on signing Martin Zubimendi which will be a huge boost for the North London side.
So, it will be interesting to see how Mikel Arteta will set up Arsenal’s midfield next season.
