Fabrizio confirms no talks on a new Arsenal contract for Jorginho at the moment

Many Arsenal fans were unsure if they should have signed Jorginho for around £12 million. How does one move from trying to sign Moises Caicedo to signing Jorginho? (Were there no other options?)
Even so, Jorginho has done everything in his power to capture the hearts of Arsenal fans in recent months. Fortunately, if his recent performances have demonstrated anything, it is that he is a player Mikel Arteta can rely on to carry out his strategy on the field. He has thrived as a No. 6 as well as an on-field coach. Arteta has leaned on the Italian in crucial games this season, using him to relieve Rice’s defensive duties, allowing the ex-Hammer to freely express himself on the pitch.
And, with his impact at the Emirates beginning to be felt, there have been calls for Arsenal to consider his long-term future. The former Blue is poised to become a free agent next summer, and there is speculation that a few teams would be willing to snap him up.
But Fabrizio Romano, the transfer guru has addressed Jorginho’s Arsenal situation in an update on his Caught Offside column, noting that while there haven’t been talks over a new deal between Jorginho and Arsenal, he understands Mikel Arteta depends on him and needs him as part of his squad, which may lead Arsenal to consider securing his long-term future at the club, but not at this moment in time.
Romano wrote, “Jorginho’s agent has also spoken about the player’s future, suggesting contract talks are at a standstill,”
“However, my understanding is that there were never talks over a new deal – he joined eight months ago, so it was never a serious topic.
“He’s part of the rotations at Arsenal, and no changes are expected; also, with Partey injured, Arsenal and Arteta need him as part of their squad.”
Do you believe Jorginho will sign a new contract this summer or will Arsenal be targeting a younger replacement?

  1. The born Brazilian and Italian international has served us well, but his legs are long gone, as he goes over the hill having him at the Colony may not be such a bad idea.

  2. Ahead of the important Arsenal Epl away match to Brentdord this weekend. But would the positive mentality of Gabriel, GJesus and Martinelli nite be negatively imparted in the match?. The trio who all started in the Brazil first ever hone loss to Argentina. When the Selecaos lost 0-1 to the Argentines in the CONMOBOL World Cup qualifier match,.
    For Arsenal to avoid any kung of disappointment that couldn happen to the Gunners in the match. Resulting ti them not winning the match to play to a draw game. But which they have to win to not fall behind in the table. But maintain their current status in it and improved on it by beating Brentdord unfailingly.
    In the light of my above observations, I will suggest to Arteta not to start ot play any fatigued international break game retunees Gunner for Brentdord.
    Who could be suffering from long distance traveling jet lag, extensive and exhaustive match playing fatigue as well as very important game losing mentality.
    But instead start or play the Gunners who are very match fit, on form, physicallity and mentally strong for our away Brentdord match. By his doing thism Arteta will give his Gunners team the ample chance to beat the Kong ball playing Bees team in the match.

  3. Ahead of the Arsenal Epl away match to Brentdord this weekend. But would the positive game willing mentality of Gabriel, GJesus and Martinelli imparted negatively for Arsenal in their Brentford match if the trio start the match or come on for it as substitutes? The Arsenal and Brazil trio all started the first ever in history home loss by Brazil to Argentina in a Conmobol World Cup qualifier match in which they were beaten 0-1.
    If Arsenal is to avoid any disappointment that could happen to the Gunners in their Brentdord match. Which could result to them not winning the match but play to a draw game.

      1. Yes and I can’t see Jesus playing against Brentford after being on the field for 96 minutes for Brazil. He was the best player in the second half though, with Martinelli best in first half. In fact I think it’s doubtful any of our three Gabriel’s will start against Brentford, even though they seem to have come through a pretty brutal game against the Argies unscathed.

    1. Definitely not in January. Also don’t understand why people want him gone when he’s become a starter while the unreliable Party has been out yet again. With Elneny going, and hopefully Partey to follow, that leaves us light in this position. Jorgi would be a good squad player to keep around for another season to make sure we aren’t light in midfield. I can’t imagine his wages are too much either.
