Barcelona Chief Deco Reignites Interest in Arsenal Midfielder Partey

Therefore, the Ghana international will be able to engage in discussions with overseas clubs to potentially sign a pre-contract agreement starting from January 1st.

Relevo says Barca are keen, where sporting director Deco is seeking a new midfield addition.

Deco has long regarded Partey highly, having spent eight years with Atletico Madrid before being sold to the Gunners.

Partey's Bosman status also makes him particularly attractive as Deco continues to work to a limited transfer budget.
