Report: Barcelona preparing transfer raid for two Arsenal stars

The Gunners are coming off a disappointing 2024/25 campaign as they failed to win a trophy and finished second in the Premier League for a third consecutive season.

Despite this, some of their key players are attracting interest from elsewhere and could leave during this summer's transfer window.

Real Madrid have been heavily linked with William Saliba as they are looking to overhaul their defence, while Barcelona are also sniffing around Arsenal.

Earlier this week, a report claimed Barcelona 'will activate' a move to sign winger Gabriel Martinelli if they fail to sign Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford.

Now, a report from The Sun claims they could lose Thomas Partey as Barcelona are 'in talks' over signing the defensive midfielder.

Now, a report from The Sun claims they could lose Thomas Partey as Barcelona are 'in talks' over signing the defensive midfielder.

The report from The Sun claims Partey is a 'man in demand' with Barcelona 'lining up a sensational swoop' with 'talks opened' with his representatives.

It is noted that he 'would ideally like to stay in north London' as he has 'built a strong relationship with Arteta' and his family is 'settled in London', but 'he is looking for a deal that doesn't require him to take a significant pay cut- aware that this could be his final major contract'.

There is also said to be interest from the Saudi Pro League, but Barcelona are the 'first' to make a 'serious' move for Partey this summer.

A source for The Sun added: "Thomas respects Arsenal massively and loves living in London, but he also knows his worth and wants a deal that reflects his standing at the club."
