Flamengo are pushing to sign Arsenal midfielder Jorginho this January, as the Brazilian club aims to secure the Italian international’s services ahead of the summer.
With Arsenal weighing their options and Borussia Dortmund targeting Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Gunners face crucial decisions in the final days of the transfer window.
Flamengo have set their sights on signing Arsenal midfielder Jorginho this month, according to reports.
The Brazilian giants have long-term ambitions to bring the Italian international to South America but are now exploring the possibility of securing a deal before the January transfer window closes.
The 33-year-old, whose current contract with Arsenal expires in six months, has a 12-month extension option available.
Despite limited game time this season, Jorginho remains highly valued by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has repeatedly praised the midfielder’s professionalism and influence both on and off the pitch.
Flamengo’s interest comes at a pivotal time for Arsenal, who are reportedly planning to intensify their pursuit of Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi in the summer. While the Gunners would prefer to retain Jorginho until the end of the season, Flamengo’s approach could test their resolve.
Jorginho’s experience and leadership have been important for Arsenal since his arrival in January 2023, and his departure would leave a void in the midfield.
However, with Flamengo keen to secure his services and Arsenal eyeing long-term reinforcements, the coming days could prove decisive in determining the Italian’s future.
In other transfer news, Borussia Dortmund are still pushing to sign Arsenal left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko this month.
