Barcelona Focus Elsewhere, Partey Looks for a New Club
With the emergence of young stars like Marc Casado and Marc Bernal, alongside established names like Pedri, Gavi, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez, Barcelona see no need to bring in another midfielder.

Juventus and PSG Ready to Pounce
While Barcelona may have stepped aside, Partey is still a wanted man. Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have both expressed strong interest in signing the 31-year-old, who is now evaluating his next move.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with Partey over a possible contract renewal, but sources suggest his time at the Emirates is coming to an end.
With his future uncertain, the Ghanaian international could soon be making a high-profile switch to Italy or France.
