Currently positioned third in the Premier League, Arsenal is definitely making a strong comeback. In the upcoming summer transfer window, the Gunners plan to further strengthen their squad to maintain their impressive momentum.

To make room for new additions, the team will need to slim down its roster. Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny are among those who might be released at the end of the 2023/24 season.

Africafoot, in this article, unveils the opportunities awaiting Partey and Elneny should they depart from the London club:

1 Mohamed Elneny

The journey appears to be nearing its end for Mohamed Elneny at Arsenal. The Egyptian international, who has been with the Gunners since January 14, 2016, is reaching the end of his contract in June 2024. Reports by Ekrem KONUR suggest that the Pharaoh’s contract will not be renewed at the season’s end, making his departure increasingly likely.

Potential Next Steps: Clubs from the Saudi Pro League are showing keen interest in the Egyptian. He could leave Europe for Saudi Arabia to embrace a new challenge.

This season, the 31-year-old midfielder has participated in 5 matches across all competitions for the Gunners. His market value is estimated at €4.5 million by Transfermarkt. Mohamed Elneny earns an annual salary of €3,256,455 (2,116,695,750 FCFA).

2 Thomas Partey

Under contract until June 2025, Thomas Partey is no longer deemed crucial for Arsenal. Despite being physically fit and a mainstay in front of the defense, the Ghanaian international’s current season has been plagued with numerous injuries. He recently returned to training. This instability could lead the London club’s executives to consider letting him go.

Potential Next Steps: A number of clubs are interested in Thomas Partey, including Juventus, Real Sociedad, and his former team, Atlético Madrid. Due to his injury issues, the Black Star has had limited playtime, participating in only 5 matches, totaling 341 minutes. Valued at €25 million by Transfermarkt, Thomas Partey earns an annual salary of €10,400,000, equivalent to 6,760,000,000 FCFA.
