In a significant development for Arsenal Football Club, deputy captain Thomas Partey has officially departed from the club after his contract expired on June 30, 2025. This conclusion of his four-year journey at Arsenal sees the Ghanaian midfielder leaving as a free agent, following his move from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for a fee of £42.7 million.
Despite the club's efforts to extend his stay, negotiations for a new contract have reportedly fallen through, leading to Partey's exit. This decision had been anticipated, as the situation had been evolving over the past ten days. Partey’s departure comes as Arsenal prepares for a new chapter, with the club confirming that Danish international Christian Nørgaard will be joining the Gunners from Brentford as a replacement.
During his time at Arsenal, Partey faced challenges, including injuries that hindered his consistency. Nevertheless, the 31-year-old midfielder delivered impressive performances last season, making 51 appearances across all competitions—his most productive output since joining the Premier League side. His contributions were pivotal in Arsenal's ambitious efforts in the Premier League and their advancement to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009, underscoring his value to the team.

Following his exit, there has been significant interest in Partey's services, with top European clubs, including Fenerbahce, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Juventus, rumored to be keen on securing his signature. However, reports indicate that a move to Saudi Arabia may be a favored prospect for the former Atletico player.
As Arsenal looks to the future, Nørgaard’s impending arrival is expected to bolster the squad. Known for his commanding presence, leadership qualities, and ball-winning capabilities, the Danish midfielder is set to add depth and vitality to Mikel Arteta’s lineup as the club aims for greater success in the upcoming seasons. With Partey’s departure, Arsenal is poised to navigate a new landscape, building a team ready to compete at the highest levels.
