Villarreal CF have officially confirmed the signing of Ghanaian midfielder Thomas Partey ahead of the 2025/26 season.
The statement highlights Partey’s experience, physical qualities, and successful spells with clubs like Arsenal and Atlético Madrid.
However, the club also directly acknowledges that Partey is currently involved in legal proceedings in England, where he faces charges of rape and sexual assault.
Villarreal state that the player denies all allegations and maintains his innocence. They affirm their respect for the legal process and the principle of presumption of innocence, but note they cannot comment further due to English legal restrictions on ongoing cases.
In closing, the club distances itself from any form of violence or discrimination, reiterating its commitment to diversity, dignity, and respect.
This statement appears aimed at balancing transparency with legal caution while also reinforcing the club’s values amid public scrutiny.
