Amidst ongoing speculation surrounding Arsenal midfielder Jorginho’s potential return to Serie A, his agent, João Santos, has addressed the rumors and emphasized the player’s contentment at Arsenal. Santos dismissed any chances of Jorginho leaving the club this summer, particularly ruling out a move to Lazio, and praised the Gunners’ manager, Mikel Arteta, as a key factor in the player’s desire to stay.
According to Santos, Jorginho is fully committed to the project at Arsenal and believes the club has the potential to become a prominent force in English football.
CalcioMercato.it also reported similar remarks from the agent, emphasizing that Jorginho’s sole focus for the upcoming season is with the Gunners.
These statements from Jorginho’s agent are significant in debunking previous reports suggesting his departure from Arsenal this summer. With a contract that runs until 2024 (with an option for an additional year) and a market value of €25 million according to Transfermarkt, Jorginho’s future appears to lie firmly with Arsenal.
Here is what João Santos said in his conversations with TV PLAY:
“Jorginho is very happy with Arsenal who have a very important championship to play, at the beginning of August there is the Community Shield. There is no negotiation with Lazio. I don’t know if they have the money to pay the player, but that’s not the question.”
“The theme is clear: the project for next year is to stay at Arsenal which can become the most important team in England. Coach Arteta is the most important in the Premier League, he understands modern football like no one else and, obviously, someone like Jorginho goes very well with someone like him.”
“He stays really well at Arsenal and in our mind, for the next season, there is only the Gunners.”
