According to Daily Mirror, Barcelona are eager to sign the veteran midfielder in the January Transfer Window
No one among the Gunners' army is expecting to see Jorginho leaving Arsenal sooner rather than later, but things could change after the latest shocking info about his possible Barcelona move.
Arsenal only signed Jorginho from Chelsea in a January 2023 deal. However, according to Daily Mirror, the Italy international midfielder could be set to leave North London in the next January Transfer Window.
In November 2022, Jorginho's agent, Joao Santos, met with Barcelona chief Mateu Alemany to discuss a move. Santos was seen in Barcelona at the time but denied meeting with Alemany and oversaw the player's move to Arsenal two months later. But now...
"Barcelona are understood to be keen to add further reinforcements in the middle of the park after bringing Oriol Romeu back to Camp Nou. Jorginho is among the high-profile names linked, and it's not the first time he has been mentioned in connection with the Catalan side," reports Daily Mirror.
Jorginho played 14 Premier League games for Arsenal last season, starting nine of them.
This season, he has started just once in the league - in Sunday's victory over Manchester City - with record signing Declan Rice increasing competition for places in the middle.
