Since Mikel Arteta took over as Arsenal manager, the club’s reputation has skyrocketed, and rumours of transfers involving European superstars have circulated. This is Arsenal’s second title challenge in as many seasons. The loss of Thomas Partey or Jorginho—who earn a combined £310,000 per week at Arsenal—could lead to team departures in the summer, according to David Ornstein.

The last two seasons under Arteta’s leadership have been absolutely phenomenal for Arsenal. Last season, they came so close to winning the title, their first in 19 years. With four games left in the Premier League season, they have another opportunity to do it. If Manchester City lose any of their next five matches, Arsenal will likely win the league on goal differential or goals scored provided they get all three points.

But if they don’t, they’ll be even more motivated to succeed next year when they have the opportunity to add some superstars to their roster during the summer transfer window. However, the Gunners will have to offload players in the summer to make room for new arrivals, and according to Ornstein, one of Partey and Jorginho, two midfielders, will be the one to go.Ornstein admitted in his Thursday Athletic Q&A that he would have a substantial fee to work with when acquiring fresh talent—whether it was Partey or Jorginho—but he was unsure which player would be traded. What did he sаy?

One of Partey or Jorginho will probably depart this summer, in my opinion. Partey may be the one to gather funds if that’s the case. We know how crucial he is when he plays, but I can’t sаy that for sure.

As for Jorginho, we have no idea what he will do with his own future as his contract is up. There are a lot of unresolved issues, and I’m sure Arsenal would prefer to retain him.

The Emirates Stadium has been a successful venue for both players.

After being hailed as “absolutely phenomenal” by Arteta, Jorginho has been a mainstay in Arsenal’s starting lineup and substitute squads this season.

With six captaincy appearances since August, he is obviously an important off-field figure to Arteta. Jorginho, who won the Champions League while playing for Chelsea, knows what it takes to win, which might provide Arsenal a boost as the season winds down.

The Italy international has made ten Premier League starts and six of ten Champions League appearances, so he may be best left alone at the club as Partey leaves, thanks to an additional year of contract options.
