Jorginho’s Arsenal Exit Update: Serie A Clubs Pursue Midfielder
Italian midfielder Jorginho’s future at Arsenal is uncertain as his contract with the club is set to expire this summer. However, the player’s agent has revealed that Jorginho is happy at Arsenal and open to the possibility of staying with the club.
Jorginho, who joined Arsenal from Chelsea in January 2023, has been a key player for the Gunners, making 41 appearances since his arrival. It was initially believed that Arsenal were open to offers for the midfielder this summer, with several clubs in Italy, including Lazio, Juventus, and Napoli, showing interest.
Lazio, in particular, were strongly linked with a move for Jorginho. However, the player ended up staying at Arsenal despite the uncertainty surrounding his contract negotiations. In November, Jorginho’s agent, Joao Santos, admitted that talks with Arsenal were at a ‘standstill’, further adding to the speculation about his future.
In an interview, Jorginho himself expressed his desire to return to play in Italy at some point before his career ends. His agent Santos has now provided an update on the player’s future, mentioning Lazio, Juventus, and Napoli as potential destinations for the midfielder.
Santos stated that Jorginho could fit well at Lazio under manager Maurizio Sarri or at Juventus. He also mentioned Napoli as a potential option. However, he emphasized that Arsenal have priority and that Jorginho is happy at the club.
While Jorginho’s agent hopes for a renewal with Arsenal, he also mentioned the importance of receiving the right proposal from another club. He expressed the desire for Jorginho to join a team that wants the best for him and mentioned the possibility of a call-up to the Italian national team under manager Luciano Spalletti.
However, Santos also noted that the market in Italy is currently slow and firm, suggesting that the process of finding a new club for Jorginho might be challenging. He speculated that this could be due to factors such as money and strategy.
The future of Jorginho at Arsenal remains uncertain, but it is clear that the midfielder has attracted interest from various clubs in Italy. Arsenal still have the option to extend his contract by another year, and it remains to be seen whether they will exercise this option or if Jorginho will move on to a new club in the upcoming transfer window.
In any case, Jorginho’s agent is determined to find the right club for his player, whether it be Arsenal or elsewhere. The midfielder’s performances have shown his quality, and it is likely that there will be no shortage of suitors for him if he becomes available in the transfer market.
Jorginho’s time at Arsenal has been fruitful, and his impact on the team has been significant. Whether he stays or leaves, his presence in the Premier League will be missed. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on his future and where he will continue his career.
