Jorginho could actually leave Arsenal to reunite with Maurizio Sarri at Lazio this summer.

That is what has been suggested by the Italian’s agent – Joao Santos.

So, what is the latest on Jorginho at Arsenal? Let’s take a look…

Jorginho could reunite with Maurizio Sarri

Well, the Arsenal No.20 sees his contract expire this summer.

Santos – when speaking to Tutto Mercato Web – revealed that the “priority” for Jorginho is to renew his deal at the Emirates Stadium, although a return to Italy was not ruled out.

The 32-year-old’s agent : “If we have to play a game, I would see it better at Lazio for the presence of Mr Sarri – who knows his characteristics very well – but also at Juventus where there is a great sporting director like Giuntoli with whom he lived many good years at Napoli.

“We will evaluate the proposal that comes to the table and we will decide for the best. Obviously the priority is the renewal with Arsenal because he gets along very well with everyone, but with his contract expiring we hope the team that wants what is best for him arrives.”

Jorginho – who recently received praise from Ian Wright – has been a key player under Mikel Arteta this season, making appearances in all competitions.

Jorginho could leave Arsenal for Barcelona

Lazio or Juventus are not the only potential destinations for Jorginho this summer if he does not renew his contract at Arsenal.

A story by in Spain states that Barcelona are keen to sign the Italy international this summer.

The Spanish news outlet believe Jorginho would love to join Barcelona, having previously wanted to sign for the Spanish giants before Chelsea outbid the Blaugrana back in 2018.

Clearly, the man has a number of options on the table this summer, as he prepares for what could be his last significant transfer.
