The latest news from ESPN is that Arsenal veteran Jorginho, the 33-year-old midfielder, seems to have lost his former glamour in the team and has now been pushed by transfer pundits into the arms of Brazil's Palmeiras. Despite the fact that his contract with Arsenal is still due to expire in the summer, the disgruntled Jorginho is already secretly planning an early farewell in January.
It is reported that Palmeiras has launched a secret contact with Jorginho's agent team, and the two sides are on the transfer details of the intense game. Rorginho's stay or go, seems to depend on this Arsenal and Palmeiras behind-the-scenes deal can be finalized.
What's even more interesting is that Jorginho is positive about returning to the Brazilian game, but he seems to favor Palmeiras and Flamengo, two clubs that have been wealthy in recent years and hold tickets to the 2025 Club World Cup. Despite the Brazilian-born player having suited up for the Italian national team and winning Euro 2020, he seems to have trouble resisting the lure of Brazilian soccer.
During his five years at Chelsea, Jorginho also proved his mettle by collecting Champions League and Club World Cup 2021 honors. But with age, his position at Arsenal has faltered and is perhaps looking for new challenges and opportunities.
For Arsenal, Jorginho's departure is undoubtedly a big loss, but the team must also look at the big picture and consider the way forward. Jorginho's transfer rumors have certainly become the focus of much discussion among fans, and everyone is looking forward to the transfer drama to be staged as soon as possible.
