Thomas Partey set for new move as free agent after Villareal exit

Black Stars deputy captain, Thomas Partey, is eyeing a new move following his departure from Villarreal CF. As reported, the former Arsenal midfielder is interest from several clubs across Europe and the Saudi Pro League.

The creative midfielder joined Villarreal in 2025 after his tenure at Arsenal came to an end. During his time in the La Liga outfit, he solidified his role in the squad, making 32 appearances in all competitions. Although he faced stiff competition for a starting position, Partey’s skill set and experience proved invaluable, contributing both defensively and offensively to the team’s midfield structure.

His exit from Villarreal presents an opportunity for both Partey and interested clubs. With a track record of performing at the highest levels of English and Spanish football, the Ghanaian international undoubtedly possesses the pedigree that many teams seek. As a player who can dictate the tempo of the game and provide defensive cover, he remains a desirable target for various managers seeking to enhance their midfield options.

European clubs looking to strengthen their squads for the upcoming season are now keeping a watchful eye on Partey.

Moreover, the prospect of joining the Saudi Pro League, a league that has recently gained traction by attracting high-profile players from around the world, cannot be overlooked. The financial incentives offered by clubs in Saudi Arabia, combined with the appeal of a new challenge in a growing football market, position Partey as an exciting addition to any squad he joins.
