Jorginho is reportedly weighing up leaving Arsenal this month amid his links with Galatasaray, thus boosting the prospects of the Turkish champions.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Jorginho is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The Turkish champions are keen on signing the Arsenal midfielder before the summer transfer window shuts down on Friday. The Italian international is mulling over leaving Arsenal this week, thus boosting the prospects of the 2023/24 Super Lig winners.
Jorginho and his Arsenal career
Jorginho has been a solid backup performer for Arsenal since arriving from Chelsea in January 2023, signing a short-term contract with £110,000-a-week wages. While he has not started many games, the experienced midfielder has made his mark whenever he has stepped on the field for the North London club.
The 32-year-old has turned out over 50 times thus far for Arsenal while chipping in with one goal and two assists. However, Jorginho’s long-term future at the Emirates is uncertain, as he has entered the final 12 months of his contract with the Premier League outfit.
Meanwhile, the situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. The Italian international midfielder’s next destination might be Turkiye, with Galatasaray keen on securing his services before the summer transfer window shuts down in the country on Friday.
Turkish move on th
Galatasaray’s interest in Jorginho is understandable. The 2023/24 Turkish Super Lig winners have been keen on reinforcing their midfield department in the summer transfer window. Casemiro was Galatasaray’s top target. However, the Brazilian international has chosen to remain at Old Trafford, forcing the 2023/24 Super Lig winners to the Arsenal midfielder.
However, recent reports have claimed that Arsenal will not entertain any offers to part ways with the Italian international. But that might not matter, with the latest update suggesting that the veteran midfielder is open to leaving Arsenal, thus boosting Galatasaray’s prospects of securing his services.
It is unclear if Jorginho’s stance on leaving Arsenal leads to an agreement with Galatasaray ahead of Friday’s summer transfer deadline in the country. It will be interesting to see if the Gunners offload the 32-year-old Italian international in the coming days.
