Raheem Sterling Departs Arsenal as Partey Eyes Contract Extension

Arsenal confirmed the exit of Raheem Sterling, who was on loan from Chelsea, along with Jorginho, Tierney, and Neto. Talks are ongoing to extend Thomas Partey’s contract, set to expire on June 30. Partey has been with Arsenal since 2020. The club recently finished second in the Premier League for a third straight season.

As the 2024–25 football season concludes, Arsenal has entered negotiations with Thomas Partey over a potential contract extension. Partey’s current deal is set to expire on June 30, and the club confirmed that talks are ongoing. The Ghanaian midfielder, who joined Arsenal in 2020, remains a part of the club’s future plans despite a number of other departures.

Arsenal also officially announced the exit of several players, including Italy international Jorginho, Scotland’s Kieran Tierney, Brazilian goalkeeper Neto, and Raheem Sterling. Sterling’s departure comes after a one-season loan from Chelsea, during which he failed to secure a permanent move. These changes come in the wake of Arsenal finishing second in the Premier League for a third consecutive season, underlining the club’s consistent challenge for the title but also highlighting their inability to clinch top spot.

The squad overhaul appears to be part of Arsenal's efforts to reshape the team ahead of the new campaign. With some experienced names moving on and contract decisions pending, Arsenal seems poised for another crucial summer as they prepare to go one step further in the Premier League next season.
