According to a report from Football Insider, Jorginho is entering the last few months of his tenure as an Arsenal player. The Brazilian-Italian midfielder joined the Gunners on an 18-month deal in January, with the club holding an option to extend his contract by an additional season.
Jorginho was initially brought in as a backup for the frequently injured Thomas Partey. However, due to Partey’s various injuries and Kai Havertz’s underwhelming performances, Jorginho has seen increased playing time in recent months.
While there were speculations that Arsenal might exercise the option to extend his deal for another year, the report suggests that the club has decided not to pursue the extension. Instead, Arsenal is reportedly planning to allow Jorginho to leave as a free agent in the summer and intends to sign a replacement for the midfield position.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Jorginho has served us well; his experience is very important for our young squad on and off the pitch.
But he is not getting any younger, and we need a new player for that role. But we can still keep him for one more season to help our new signings settle in faster.
As he gets over the hill, maybe a slower league would be perfect for the Italian international in the future, but he continues to serves us well and with several trophies at stake, where he plays next season is least of the apostle.
I think he should have been around with the gunners at least for the entire season.He would provide great backup for Partey- if not leaving also.
Arsenal needs continuity as least to win the the EPL and Euro.
He has tried his best compared to other Chelsea rejects who ended up at AFC.(except for the totesh..t game) Its not a bad idea for him to go and play in ITALY again.
