The Arsenal midfielder has sparked speculation about his next move as Partey Contract Talks continue. Will he stay or leave?

Thomas Partey has provided a clear update on his future at Arsenal despite rumours about his departure. With Partey contract talks underway, speculation is mounting over whether the 31-year-old will extend his stay at the Emirates or seek a new challenge elsewhere.

Partey, who has struggled with injuries in previous seasons, enjoyed a strong campaign last year, featuring in 35 matches across all competitions and contributing four goals and two assist his most productive season since joining Arsenal from Atlético Madrid in 2020. His presence was notably missed in the Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain, highlighting his importance to the team.

With his contract nearing its end, Arsenal have reportedly opened discussions to extend his stay, offering a one-year extension. However, Partey’s recent response to journalist Nana Aba Anamoah has left fans guessing. When asked directly if he had signed a new deal, Partey simply wrote: “Yes and No”—a cryptic answer that has fueled speculation about his future.

In a later interview, Partey provided more insight, stating that his next move must balance ambition, family, and security. He emphasized that happiness is a crucial factor in his decision-making process, saying, “The most important thing is being happy where you play. At this stage of my career, my next move must balance ambition, family, and security. I’m an Arsenal fan too, but it’s up to the club, my agent, and me to decide. For now, I just want to enjoy my football.”

Meanwhile, Arsenal are already making moves in the transfer market, reportedly triggering the £51 million release clause in Martin Zubimendi’s contract. The Real Sociedad midfielder is seen as a long-term addition to Arteta’s midfield, raising questions about Partey’s role should he choose to stay.

As negotiations continue, Partey’s future remains one of the most closely watched storylines of Arsenal’s summer. Will he extend his stay at the Emirates, or will he seek a new challenge elsewhere? Only time will tell.
