Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Jorginho will leave Arsenal at the end of the season when his contract expires. The experienced midfielder has played a limited role this campaign, and the club has decided not to extend his stay.
Both Jorginho and Thomas Partey are nearing the end of their current deals at the Emirates, which has led to speculation over who will be retained. In Partey’s case, Arsenal are pushing to keep him for two more seasons after a strong run of performances in the second half of the season. Jorginho, however, has not played enough to convince the club to offer him fresh terms.
With Arsenal strongly linked to Martin Zubimendi, there is no urgent need to hold on to the Italy international. The Gunners appear ready to refresh their midfield options and focus on players who can be involved more regularly.
Jorginho has attracted interest from Flamengo since the early months of the campaign. A move to Brazil could now become a serious possibility, although his next destination has not yet been finalised. What is clear is that his chapter with Arsenal is ending.
Romano confirmed the news, telling Give Me Sport: “Breaking: It will be over between Arsenal and Jorginho, leaving as a free agent.”
Jorginho’s time at Arsenal may have been short, but he brought valuable experience and helped the team stay composed in difficult moments. With his departure, the club can look ahead to adding younger, more dynamic options to their midfield unit.

No more Chelsea rejects like Gallas, Luiz, Cech, Willian, Havertz, Jorginho or Sterling.
Havertz has done well as a striker but we know he will most likely be replaced by a new CF next season. He’s been a monumental failure in his position in midfield where he was brought in to play. Just hope we don’t see Nkunku or Mudryk here next season. That would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Very true and your are a true gunner. Waste of 12M signing fee+ wages. Good to see him go. Should have been gone last summer. Hopefully we would not see flops and rejects with Bertha now in charge if he can stamp his authority over Mikel.
So if he’s been as terrible as you say, then nobody would want him and he’d see out his contract anyway. Therefore, getting rid for a fee last year and getting him off the wage bill would have been a complete non starter
I’m not fussed by whether a player is a Chelsea, City or any other club’s reject tbh. The only thing that matters is if they work out for Arsenal. Havertz has worked out and so has Jorginho. One still young,the other with bags of experience who for what these days can be classed as a modest sum, has been a good buy. The perfect squad player.
Havertz hasn’t worked out. He was brought in as a midfielder and that’s why he was constantly and stubbornly played there by Arteta at the beginning. He’s failed miserably.
But as a striker, I consider him very successful on the basis that he’s actually a midfielder playing out of position. But we’re both sure he will be replaced cos his continued playing there is not sustainable. Rice plays that Xhaka midfield role now which Havertz was brought in to play. What then happens to Havertz? £65m and £280k p/w only to become a squad player cos he’s not good enough to start anywhere? That’s not what I consider as a player working out
You must be dreaming in your mind. Harvertz is a starter whenever he is fit and is not a squad player so far. Until and when Arsenal buy a proper striker is when we can have a different discussion
So you didn’t understand that I’m talking him being out of the starting eleven once we get a specialist CF next season?
Moreover, being in the starting eleven doesn’t mean you’re a success. Was Antony not in Man Utd’s starting eleven during Ten Hag?
For me Jorginho although experienced, was to slow to play in the congestion of the midfield. I’ve seen milk turn quicker. 😂😉👍
