Thomas Partey’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain as discussions over a possible contract extension have stalled, with the Ghanaian midfielder now on course to become a free agent at the end of the month.

Despite initial optimism from both sides, talks between Partey’s representatives and the club have not progressed, leaving the 31-year-old’s future hanging in the balance. According to sources close to the situation, unless there is a late breakthrough, Partey will officially part ways with Arsenal on June 30, when his current contract expires.

Partey, who joined Arsenal from Atlético Madrid in 2020 for £45 million, has struggled with injuries in recent seasons but remains highly respected for his experience, tactical discipline, and leadership in midfield. The player’s preference has always been to stay in North London, but the club appears to be moving in a different direction amid ongoing squad reshaping under Mikel Arteta.

In the last week, Partey’s name has been offered to several major European clubs, including Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, as his camp explores alternative options ahead of the new season.

Should Partey depart, Arsenal are expected to enter the transfer market for a new central midfielder, with the club keen on bolstering depth and quality in the middle of the park, particularly as they prepare for another demanding campaign across multiple competitions.

An official decision or announcement is yet to be made, but with the clock ticking and no extension in sight, it appears increasingly likely that Thomas Partey’s time at the Emirates Stadium is coming to an end.
