Barcelona And Athletico Madrid Ready To Battle For Thomas Party When His Arsenal Contract Expires At The End Of The Season

Arsenal defensive midfielder Thomas Partey, who is in the final year of his Arsenal contract, which means his contract ends by the summer of 2025, already has Spanish clubs, Barcelona and his former club Athletico Madrid all vying for his signature by the end of the season when he becomes a free agent.

Thomas Partey who will be 32 years of age by next summer, looks likely to be heading to the Saudi pro league, which is synonymous with players over 30 years of age, who would want to go to a league where they would be paid very huge amounts of salary, in preparation for their retirement from football.

Whether Thomas Partey will choose another European club over a move to the Saudi pro league, still remains to be seen in a couple of months to come.

Thomas Partey has registered six goals and four assists in 128 matches for Arsenal, since his move to the Emirates stadium, although no up to the stats he has for his former club Athletico Madrid, Thomas Partey is one midfielder most managers would like to have in their team.
