With a very fragile defense this season, FC Barcelona should find a solution in Arsenal defensive midfielder Thomas Partey.
Barca have been vulnerable defensively this season. Leaders of La Liga, they have conceded 9 goals in 9 games, three more than Real Madrid (2nd) and 5 more than Atlético Madrid (4th).
In this situation, Barça can get away with a combative defensive midfielder. It just so happens that their target from the last transfer window, Partey, is the ideal man.
The 31-year-old Ghanaian international will be a free agent in the summer of 2025. If Arsenal do not extend his contract and he can overcome his injury problems, Partey will help Barça protect the defensive unit and break up opposing attacks.
Atlético are also one of Partey’s suitors, with the Madrid team looking to bring him home.
