Berta was previously Atletico Madrid's sporting director and has a close relationship with the club. If Partey signs a new contract with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid may consider signing other players, such as Tottenham Hotspur's Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has not commented on Partey's contract situation, leaving the negotiations to Berta and the club. The transfer window is approaching, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.
