February 3rd 2025.
According to reports, it seems that Jorginho's time at Arsenal will soon come to an end. The Italian midfielder, who joined the Gunners in 2023 from their London rivals Chelsea, has agreed to leave the team at the end of the season. During his time at Arsenal, Jorginho has made a total of 72 appearances, following his £12 million move. Prior to joining Arsenal, Jorginho was a key player for Chelsea for five years, helping the team win both the Champions League and Europa League, while also reaching multiple finals in the FA and EFL Cups.
While Jorginho has been a valuable member of the Arsenal squad, he has often played as a backup to other midfielders such as Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, and Mikel Merino. This season, he has only started six league games. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Arsenal has been looking to bring in a new midfielder, rather than offer Jorginho a new deal. It has been reported that Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad will be joining the team soon.
Despite Arsenal allowing Jorginho's contract to run down, they did not allow him to leave during the January transfer window. In fact, they rejected an approach from Brazilian side Flamengo. However, it seems that Jorginho's desire to play in Brazil has not waned. He reportedly signed a pre-contract with Flamengo and will be joining them in the summer, marking the end of his eight-year stay in the Premier League.
When asked about his future at Arsenal, Jorginho stated that his focus is on the next game and that he does not let the transfer rumors affect him. He also mentioned that playing in Brazil is a possibility for him in the future as he has never had the chance to play professionally in his home country. Although he was left on the bench in the recent match against Manchester City, Jorginho's contribution to Arsenal's journey this season should not be overlooked.
The world of football is always full of surprises and things can change quickly. But for now, Jorginho's main focus is on his current team and he will make a decision about his future calmly and with all options open. As he says, it is important to not get caught up in the endless speculation and rumors, but rather to stay focused on the present. And for now, that means helping Arsenal in their pursuit of the Premier League title, as they closed the gap on the leaders to just six points after their impressive win against Manchester City.
