Arsenal have confirmed that negotiations are ongoing to extend the contract of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey, whose current deal expires on June 30, 2025.
The update comes as the club prepares for a major squad reshuffle ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Partey, who arrived at the Emirates in 2020 from Atlético Madrid, has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent months, with reported interest from clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia. However, his consistent performances last season appear to have convinced Arsenal to retain him.
The 31-year-old enjoyed his most productive season yet in an Arsenal shirt, featuring in 52 matches across all competitions — his highest tally since joining the club — while registering four goals and three assists.
In an official club statement, Arsenal provided clarity on the status of players whose contracts are set to run out next year, noting that discussions are ongoing with Partey and other players. “The following players’ contracts also expire on June 30, 2025. Discussions are ongoing, and once matters are finalised between all parties, we will communicate in due course,” the statement read.
The contract negotiations with Partey come as Arsenal prepares for a major squad reshuffle ahead of the 2025/26 season. The club is set to bid farewell to four senior players — Raheem Sterling, Kieran Tierney, Neto, and Jorginho — at the end of this month.
With Partey’s potential extension, Arsenal fans will be hoping that the Ghanaian midfielder will continue to play a key role in the team’s future.
