Emotional Moment 💔: Mikel Arteta burst into tears after his favorite player stated that he is leaving Emirates for another European club today, despite being a starter under Arteta.

Spanish champions Barcelona are keeping an eye on Thomas Partey, an Arsenal midfielder.

Due to a hamstring injury, the Ghanaian missed the majority of the preceding three months of training. However, he returned to the field yesterday. Although his return has thrilled Arsenal supporters, his long-term status is still unknown.

Thomas Partey of Arsenal is wanted by Barcelona.

After his £45 million release clause was activated in 2020, Thomas Partey was purchased by Arsenal from Atletico Madrid (BBC).

The Ghanaian, who has been excellent for Arsenal in the years he has been healthy, was one of the best midfielders in La Liga at the time.

But since moving to the Emirates, Partey has been afflicted with illnesses. Prior to joining Arsenal, the 30-year-old had only missed seven games in his whole career. Since then, he has missed nearly 65 games for both club and country.

That’s a terrible record, which is probably why he was heavily linked to leaving Arsenal during the summer. With him entering the last 18 months of his contract this month, there have also been rumors regarding his future.

The article claims that Barcelona’s financial status precludes them from making big summertime purchases. This makes things more difficult for the Spanish champions because Partey is unlikely to be allowed to leave Arsenal for a little fee.

Arsenal has gained a lot from Partey’s return.

Thomas Partey’s future will need to be discussed by Arsenal, but not until the end of the current campaign.

For Arsenal supporters, the most significant update is that the Ghanaian has resumed full training and is now vying for a spot in the squad to play Nottingham Forest the next week.

That gives Arsenal a significant boost. Partey is without a doubt their best midfield player, and he and Declan Rice might help the Gunners
