Thomas Partey Becomes Free Agent as Milan and Juventus on Alert

Thomas Partey will leave Arsenal as a free agent after contract talks collapsed, ending his five-year stint since a €50 million move in 2020. The 32-year-old made 52 appearances this season, scoring four goals and assisting three. With no transfer fee involved, Milan, Juventus, and Fenerbahce are now keen to sign him.

In the latest twist to the summer transfer market, Thomas Partey is officially set to leave Arsenal as a free agent after failing to agree on a new deal. The 32-year-old midfielder, who joined the Gunners from Atlético Madrid in October 2020 for €50 million, will see his contract expire on June 30, 2025. Partey played an important role for Arsenal in the 2024-25 season, making 52 competitive appearances, scoring four goals, and assisting three more.

Despite his consistent presence in midfield, contract renewal talks collapsed weeks ago and showed no signs of revival, as confirmed by The Athletic. This development has put Serie A giants AC Milan and Juventus on high alert, both long-time admirers of the Ghana international. With no transfer fee required, the move is now financially viable, although Partey’s salary demands remain high.

Fenerbahce have also entered the race, adding competition for the former Atlético Madrid academy product. For interested clubs, this is a rare opportunity to land a seasoned midfielder with Premier League and Champions League experience without breaking the bank on a transfer fee. As the window heats up, Partey’s next destination will be closely watched by top European clubs.
