Thomas Partey set for Arsenal U-turn! Soon-to-be free agent in talks over shock new Gunners contract despite flirting with exit

Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain

<p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6302218/2025/04/23/thomas-partey-arsenal-contract-new/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a> reports that the 31-year-old is in talks with Arsenal over extending his contract beyond this summer. The midfielder, who can also play at right-back, looked set to run down his contract and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/thomas-partey-free-transfer-barcelona-summer-arsenal-midfielder-miss-out-dream-move-catalans-sell-key-man-surprise-decision/blta360f5ad76797b7b" target="_blank">head for pastures new in the coming months</a> but that may change now.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The report adds that it long seemed as though Partey would leave Arsenal at the end of the season but his resurgence has left head coach Mikel Arteta and the club keen to extend his stay at the Emirates. While Partey is 'happy' with the Gunners and his family enjoy living in London, there is no guarantee he will extend his stay.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p><em>The Athletic</em> claims the former Atletico Madrid star, who joined Arsenal in 2020, would be open to an improved two-year agreement or a one-year deal plus an option to extend by a further 12 months.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>While contract talks continue behind the scenes, Partey will hope to guide Arsenal to a Champions League triumph in the coming weeks.</p>
