Flamengo is getting closer to finalizing the signing of Jorginho, the midfielder from Arsenal, after a significant approach with his representatives. The Brazilian club has intensified its efforts to secure the services of the Italian international, and negotiations have progressed significantly following a key meeting between the technical director José Boto and the player's entourage.
The future of the 33-year-old midfielder has been a subject of speculation throughout the transfer window. Although Mikel Arteta values his experience and leadership within the team, the player has not enjoyed the desired prominence, playing just over 1,100 minutes this season. Faced with this situation, the option of a change has gained strength, with Flamengo emerging as an attractive destination.
Arsenal is close to sealing Jorginho's signing
The Carioca team seeks to strengthen its squad with a player who brings hierarchy and control to the midfield. The opportunity to sign a player of the caliber of Jorginho is a key aspect in their sports planning. Furthermore, with his contract at Arsenal expiring at the end of the season, the transfer could be facilitated without excessive investment.
Discussions between Flamengo and the player's camp have progressed positively, indicating that the Brazilian club is on track to close the deal. While Arsenal has not yet given a final verdict, the player's stance of seeking more minutes could be decisive in the operation's resolution. With the transfer market nearing its end, Flamengo is working against the clock to secure Jorginho's addition and strengthen their squad with a significant reinforcement.
