La Liga
Villarreal does not stop its activity in the transfer market and has set its sights on a big name to strengthen its squad: Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian midfielder, who is currently without a team after ending his contract with Arsenal, emerges as a very attractive option for Marcelino García Toral's team, which is looking to add experience and leadership in the midfield.
At 32 years old, Partey could be a significant reinforcement for the Castellon team, which is facing the additional challenge of the Champions League this season. The Asturian coach believes that the former Atlético de Madrid player would bring solidity, leadership, and quality to a midfield area that needs urgent reinforcement.
A proposal that the African midfielder likes a lot
The advantage for Villarreal is that the player is free and would not involve a transfer fee, allowing for a higher salary investment, as reported by [Marca](https://www.marca.com/futbol/villarreal/2025/08/03/villarreal-fija-thomas-partey.html). Despite having played over fifty matches last season with the Gunners, the African did not renew and is now considering offers to continue his career in Europe.
The Villarreal board, led by Fernando Roig, has emphasized the need for top-level signings to compete on all fronts. Partey fits that profile, and the club is already working to accelerate negotiations with the player's representatives.
