Jorginho has been regularly linked with a return to Serie A, and his agent has confirmed the experienced midfielder remains fully committed to Arsenal but is open to the possibility of a return to Italy when his contract expires.
The Italy international joined the Gunners in January from London rivals Chelsea, after Arsenal failed to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton. Jorginho has proved to be a good addition to Mikel Arteta's squad. However, the club-record purchase of Declan Rice in the summer looked likely to limit the 31-year-old's first team chances.
The recent injury to Thomas Partey is set to hand Jorginho an opportunity after the international break. Fenerbahce had been linked with a move for Jorginho but according to Joao Santos, Jorginho's agent, the player is likely to wait until next summer to make a decision on his future.
Santos told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, “This year he stays at Arsenal, then we can’t know what will happen next season. For now he is focused on playing two very important competitions such as the Premier and Champions League with the Gunners. Italy is always in our hearts, never say never. If there is an Italian team that needs Jorginho and his characteristics we will see what will happen.” He continued, “A possible future for Juve? In modern football you can’t say he will be playing for one team or another. We can talk to all the teams looking for a player with his characteristics.”
Partey is likely to miss upcoming crucial games against Everton, Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea with Arteta admitting the situation did not look encouraging in the aftermath of last weekend’s win over Manchester United.
Jorginho is determined to make the most of his chance to prove himself capable of being part of the Gunners' first team. His agent is open to the idea of a return to Italy, but for now, Jorginho remains focused on his current team and doing his best to help Arsenal achieve success.
