Jorginho, the Brazilian-born Italian international, joined Arsenal earlier this year, signing a contract that runs until 2024, with a potential extension for another season. Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has a pre-existing professional relationship with Jorginho from their time together at Napoli.
Although Juventus typically avoids signing players in their 30s, they seem willing to make an exception for the midfielder. The report suggests that Jorginho has always been of interest to Juventus.
The report also outlined the conditions for a potential transfer. It specifically mentioned that the transfer’s feasibility depends on whether Arsenal is willing to let him go or if a deal can be struck at a minimal cost, possibly even involving a free loan deal.
Regarding Jorginho’s current season with Arsenal, he has made eight appearances, with just one league start during Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester City. His limited playtime suggests that a January transfer is likely due to his low position in Mikel Arteta’s hierarchy.
Despite this, Jorginho has expressed his happiness at Arsenal. The report doesn’t mention Arsenal’s stance on his departure before the end of the current season, but it implies that any move will heavily rely on Arsenal’s willingness to release him or allow for a low-cost transfer.
Jorginho’s contract, which extends until 2024 with a potential extra year, could make him more appealing to potential buyers, especially if Arsenal releases him on favorable terms.
