Xavi Hernández made it clear last summer that he wanted a new midfielder to complete the FC Barcelona squad, but Deco could not meet his demands
Although the Barcelona team’s transfer market has been really positive, Deco has not been able to close all the signings that he would have liked in the FC Barcelona. Joao Félix, Oriol Romeu, Joao Cancelo, Gundogan and Iñigo Martínez have been the reinforcements, but Xavi Hernández wanted a new player for the midfield. A signing that ultimately did not arrive.
Dani Parejo and Giovani Lo Celso were some of those who came close, but in the end an agreement was not reached. Nevertheless, Deco has not stopped working at FC Barcelona. And from what we have been able to learn, he would be following in the footsteps of a footballer who knows LaLiga very well and who currently plays for Arsenal.
Thomas Partey could leave Arsenal in 2024
The Arsenal player that Deco wants at FC Barcelona
As we have learned in the last few hours, FC Barcelona is in the footsteps of Thomas Partey. The Ghanaian midfielder left LaLiga three seasons ago to head to Arsenal, which paid 50 million euros to acquire his services. During the first years it was very important, but now everything has changed.
As we have seen this season, Thomas Partey is not being important for Mikel Arteta. So much so that, so far this season, he has been a regular on the bench, playing only 251 minutes of play in the Premier League. Something that does not please the footballer, who would be considering the possibility of leaving the Gunner club.
Thomas Partey, a market opportunity
If club and player finally agree to separate their paths, FC Barcelona would be in pole position to sign Thomas Partey. Not only because he is a player who fits what Xavi Hernández is looking for, who would have a wild card for the midfield, but because the footballer would be delighted to play for the Barça team, which would be a step forward in his career.
Be that as it may, we will first have to wait to find out what Arsenal decides with Thomas Partey. Deco wants him at FC Barcelona, but everything will depend on the conditions. And, as we know, the Barça club’s financial situation is really complicated and they will need sales again to be able to balance their accounts. That is why a simple loan until the end of the season could be the solution.
