Jorginho ‘begins negotiations’ over Arsenal exit as ex-Chelsea defender tasked with convincing Italian to join

FLAMENGO reportedly want to sign Jorginho in a free transfer from Arsenal this month.

The 33-year-old’s Arsenal contract expires in June and he is yet to agree terms for an extension.

Now that he is within the final six months of his deal, Jorginho is free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with any club abroad.

Flamengo are understood to be among his potential suitors, but club officials want the midfielder to join sooner rather than later.
