Atlético Madrid are reportedly weighing up a move to bring back Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, as the Spanish giants look to bolster their midfield ahead of next season.

Sources close to the club have indicated that plans are already in motion for a potential return, with Partey’s contract at Arsenal set to expire in June 2025. With just over a year left on his deal and his future in North London uncertain, Atlético see a window of opportunity to reunite with a player they know well.

Partey spent five successful seasons under Diego Simeone, earning a reputation as one of LaLiga’s most reliable defensive midfielders. His departure to Arsenal in 2020 left a noticeable gap in Atlético’s midfield, and the club believes his experience, athleticism, and tactical discipline would be a perfect fit for their current squad rebuild.

Injuries have hampered Partey’s time at Arsenal, but when fit, he remains a dominant presence in midfield. A return to the Wanda Metropolitano could offer him the chance to reignite his career in familiar territory.

No official offer has been made yet, but with contract talks at Arsenal reportedly stalled, Atlético may look to swoop in this summer or even negotiate a pre-contract in January.

The Rojiblancos faithful will be watching closely.
