Reports in Brazil indicate that Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has been approached by Palmeiras.
Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has reportedly received an approach from Brazilian club Palmeiras, according to sources in Brazil. The 33-year-old Italian international’s contract with Arsenal is set to expire at the end of the season, and his agent has been exploring potential options for his future.
Jorginho’s representative, João Santos, has held preliminary discussions with Palmeiras as uncertainty grows over his future at Arsenal. While no formal offer has been made, the talks indicate Palmeiras’ interest in the experienced midfielder.
Jorginho has been a key player for Arsenal since joining the club, but his future has been uncertain due to his contract situation. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has suggested that he wants to have conversations about contract extensions later in the season, but Jorginho is now free to negotiate directly with other clubs.
Palmeiras sees Jorginho as a valuable addition to their squad and is considering making a formal offer. The Brazilian club is also prioritizing the signing of Andreas Pereira from Fulham, but Jorginho remains a strong candidate for a move to Brazil.
A move to Palmeiras could provide the midfielder with a new challenge and the opportunity to play in the Brazilian league.
