A story from the Spanish news site SPORT says that Barcelona is interested in Jorginho. They want to buy a holding midfielder before the summer transfer window opens. They are the current La Liga winners. They are also interested in the Arsenal player, who may be willing to join them.
Jorginho and his time at Arsenal So Far Jorginho has done a good job for Arsenal since signing a £110,000-a-week deal to move there from Chelsea in January 2023. Because Thomas Partey is having trouble staying fit, the Italian international came to the Emirates as a short-term fix. And in the past year, he has done a good job filling in for the Ghanaian international.
The 32-year-old has played 26 times for Arsenal so far this season and has helped score one goal and set up another. But Jorginho’s future at the North London club is unknown since the last six months of his contract are up. Several well-known clubs are interested in this kind of case.
There have been many rumours that he might be going back to Serie A, and Juventus wants to sign him. Moving to La Liga, on the other hand, could be a chance for the experienced Arsenal midfielder, since Barcelona wants to sign him.
Are you calling Barcelona?
Barcelona thought about signing Jorginho for a short time during the winter transfer window, when Oriol Romeu’s future was unclear. But there was no move because Barcelona ruled out a deal late in the window. But they are still interested in getting him before the summer transfer window opens.
Barcelona is expected to let Romeu go during the summer transfer window. So, Jorginho has become a real possibility for Barcelona to sign. The story also says that the Arsenal midfielder would be open to moving to Barcelona on a Bosman deal.
It’s not clear if Barcelona will match Jorginho’s £110,000-a-week salary if they sign him. In the meantime, Arsenal might try to sign him to a new short-term deal. That being said, it will be interesting to see what the 32-year-old Italian player does next.
