Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey could be set for a surprise departure from the Emirates Stadium this summer.

The Ghanaian international still has a contract with the Gunners which is set to expire in 2025 after he joined the North London side in October 2020 on a long-term contract from Spanish side Atletico Madrid for a fee of €50 million.

Injuries have blighted the midfielder’s time at the Emirates, although he appeared to have gotten over the injury hump in 2022/23 as he consistently dominated at the base of Arteta’s midfield amid Arsenal’s title charge.

According to a Twitter post by renowned football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, there is a concrete chance for the former Tema Youth man to leave Arsenal this summer with clubs having shown interest as there have been discussions about his exit.

Partey, 30, has been a key player for Arsenal this season, making 39 appearances in all competitions and scoring three goals.

However, it seems that his performances have caught the eye of many clubs, including Juventus, AC Milan or a return to Atletico Madrid who are keen to add him to their squads ahead of the new season.
