Villarreal consider Thomas Partey exit as Saudi interest grows

Villarreal are reportedly considering offloading Thomas Partey amid growing doubts over his performances, with the midfielder facing a decisive final six months at the club.

Spanish newspaper Marca reports that the Yellow Submarine may look to move the 32-year-old on before the transfer window closes, with Partey recently slipping behind 17-year-old academy graduate Carlos Macia in the midfield pecking order.

Partey signed a two-year deal with Villarreal last summer, meaning the remainder of the season could determine whether he stays beyond the campaign. His struggles in the Champions League, where Villarreal conceded 18 goals in eight matches, have intensified scrutiny of his role.

Saudi Arabian clubs are also understood to be monitoring Partey’s situation closely. The Ghana international had been linked with a move to the Middle East before opting for Villarreal, and renewed interest could resurface if the Spanish side decide to cut ties.

The coming months are expected to be crucial in shaping the next phase of Partey’s career.
