The Ghanaian midfielder joined the Gunners from Atletico Madrid in 2020 for £45 million and made 167 appearances since.
Partey was crucial last season, starting 31 league matches, helping Arsenal push for the Premier League and Champions League titles.
However, ESPN reports negotiations for a new deal have broken down, and Partey is expected to leave on a free this summer.
Barcelona and Turkish clubs are reportedly eyeing a free transfer, with his current Arsenal contract set to expire on June 30.
Arsenal are also close to signing Martin Zubimendi, which could further signal Partey’s exit from Mikel Arteta’s plans.
Arteta previously praised Partey’s consistency and impact, expressing his desire to keep the experienced midfielder in the squad moving forward.
Partey recently hinted that his family will play a role in deciding his future destination as he weighs up his next move, reports Mirror.
He emphasized the importance of happiness, financial stability, and family well-being over strictly footballing priorities in the final stages of his career.
As Arsenal reshuffle their midfield, Partey’s departure will mark the end of a significant era at the Emirates.
