Flamengo director Jose Boto confirmed negotiations with Arsenal midfielder Jorginho, who is set to be a free agent this summer. Jorginho's contract with Arsenal finishes soon, and he has shown interest in playing in Brazil. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised Jorginho’s professional demeanor despite limited playing time this season. The talks are ongoing, with the player’s agent also engaging with multiple clubs. Jorginho is planning his post-playing career by studying for coaching badges, indicating preparation for a future in football management.
"We have never denied that he is a player that interests us," Boto said. "We are in a negotiation process and I never reveal anything about a negotiation process."
"The ball is in his court, Jorginho's, and he will treat it well and will play this game with us."
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has repeatedly hailed Jorginho's professionalism and ability to perform in limited minutes.
