Barcelona Declined to Sign Arsenal Midfielder Partey

English media previously reported that Barcelona was interested in acquiring Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey. However, the club has decided to pass on this option, despite the need for a new central midfielder.

Details. According to Sport, Barcelona has chosen not to enter the race for the Ghanaian midfielder, who is likely to become a free agent this summer.

Instead, the sporting director of the Blaugrana, Deco, is prioritizing the development of Marc Casado and Marc Bernal, who will be recovering from an ACL injury at the start of the next campaign.

Additionally, it is not ruled out that Frenkie de Jong's future may still be tied to the Catalan capital. Despite being the main candidate for a sale and negotiations for a new contract scheduled for the summer, the Dutchman is eager to stay in Barcelona.

Among the teams where Partey might continue his career are PSG and Juventus.

Reminder. Previously, Barcelona stated the condition under which they might consider Neymar's return.
