Arsenal: Thomas Partey in talks over new contract as Gunners confirm retained list for 2025/26 season | OneFootball

Partey has interest from clubs from Europe and Saudi Arabia as his Arsenal contract expires at the end of the month

Partey’s current deal is due to expire at the end of this month and he is attracting interest from Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.

Clubs in Saudi Arabia are also tracking the midfielder, however Standard Sport understands his preference is to stay in north London.

Arsenal on Wednesday afternoon published a list of the players they are releasing later this month and in that they confirmed they are still in negotiations with Partey.

The club also announced that they remain in talks with academy graduate Michal Rosiak, who is out of contract at the end of this month, too.

“Discussions are ongoing, and once matters are finalised between all parties, we will communicate in due course,” said Arsenal.

Jorginho and Tierney, however, will be leaving the club when their contracts expire later this month.

Tierney is set to rejoin his boyhood club, Celtic, while Jorginho is expected to sign for Brazilian club Flamengo.

Goalkeeper Neto will be returning to Bournemouth after his loan spell at Arsenal. The same goes for Raheem Sterling, who is heading back to Chelsea after a year at Emirates Stadium.

In total, 17 players across Arsenal’s senior and youth teams will be leaving the club at the end of this month when their contracts expire.

Among them are Jack Henry-Francis, Jimi Gower and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji - who appeared on the bench for the first team last season.
