Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta does not want to sell Jorginho anytime soon, according to a report.
According to Football Transfers, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta rates Jorginho highly and believes that he will play a big role in the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League campaign.
Mikel Arteta wants Jorginho to stay at Arsenal
Arteta wants the former Chelsea midfielder to be part of the squad for the next phase of the team’s development.
The Arsenal boss does not want the £110,000-a-week (Spotrac) Italian star to leave in the January transfer window or next summer.
Football Transfers has claimed that Arsenal plan to take up the option to keep Jorginho at the club until 2025.
The 31-year-old joined Arsenal from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in January 2023 and is under contract until the summer of 2024, with the option for a further year.
Jorginho could be important for Arsenal
In our view, Arsenal should keep Jorginho and should not be in a rush to offload him.
If the North London club are able to keep the Italian star beyond the end of the season, then they should do so.
Yes, Jorginho is 31 now, but he is a very good player with a wealth of experience.
True, the former Chelsea star is unlikely to play week in and week out for Arsenal, but he could be vital for the North London club in big games, especially in the UEFA Champions League.
