The La Liga side have begun talks with Partey's representatives over a free transfer this summer, with his future at the Emirates Stadium uncertain.
The Ghana midfielder's contract with Arsenal will expire at the end of June. Coach Mikel Arteta wants to keep Partey but so far, the two sides have not agreed on a new contract.
The slow negotiation process encouraged clubs like Barcelona or Atletico Madrid to jump in to lure Partey.
A source close to the 31-year-old midfielder said that coach Hansi Flick admires Partey so much that he wants to bring him to Nou Camp without spending too much money.
The Ghana international joined the Gunners in 2020 for £45m and despite struggling with injuries at times, Partey has remained a key figure in Arsenal's midfield.
In the 2025/25 season, Partey played 35 Premier League matches alongside Declan Rice. That's why coach Arteta wants to continue working with his student.
However, in the new proposal that the London team sent to Partey's representative, the salary was significantly reduced. That made the two sides unable to reach an agreement on the extension.
Partey himself understands that this is the last big contract in his career, so he expects a worthy treatment.
