La Liga heavyweights Barcelona are reportedly showing renewed interest in signing Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian international`s name has frequently appeared in transfer speculation linked with the Catalan club in the past.
Barcelona are understood to have long admired Partey`s capabilities, with their interest potentially dating back to his time playing for Atlético Madrid. The current whispers in the media suggest this interest has not waned completely.
Recent reports indicate that representatives from Barcelona have opened discussions with Partey`s camp regarding a potential move this summer. The possibility of a free transfer is reportedly being explored, especially as the 31-year-old midfielder has not yet reached an agreement on a new contract with Mikel Arteta`s Arsenal side.
However, it is also noted that officials at the Camp Nou, including sporting director Deco, may be hesitant to meet the salary demands put forward by Partey and his entourage, which could serve as a significant obstacle to completing any potential transfer.
