The Italian-Brazilian hasn’t had much playing time since joining the Gunners and could find himself moving to Catalonia
The Italian-Brazilian Jorginho, from Arsenal, is one of Barcelona’s targets for the European summer window. According to the Catalan newspaper “Sport”, the midfielder is already looking at a future outside London, due to an impasse over the contract renewal.
The player’s contract with the Gunners expires at the end of the first half of 2024. There is still no talk of an extension, which has already led the athlete’s agent, João Santos, to look for new offers. The Barça board welcomes the free arrival of the number 20, and is expected to take the first steps in the coming weeks.
Deco, the Blaugrana’s sporting director, should aim for purchases of little or no value, given that Barcelona is in debt due to recent investments in the European market. There had previously been talk of signing the 2020-21 European Cup-winning midfielder, but there had been no progress.
Jorginho left Chelsea to join Arsenal in January 2023, costing around €11 million. However, he failed to establish himself as a starter and ended up losing space with the arrival of Declan Rice, but he was a sort of 12th player in the manager’s scheme. Mikel Arteta. In total, he played 44 games for the Londoners, contributing one goal and two assists.
