Arsenal have received an offer from Flamengo for Jorginho and Mikel Arteta has made his stance clear over letting the midfielder leave before Monday’s deadline.

Joringho🍰’s 𓆏contract with the Gunners expires at the end of the season and Flamengo have tried testing their luck to bring him in now.

The Italian international h🎶as started on just 12 occasions this season with several Arsenal midfielders ahead of him in the p🍸ecking order.

So with his minut💙es being limited and his time in North London drawing to a close, the Brazilian club have made their move to try and recruit him sooner than originally planned.

Arsenal reject approach for Jorginho from Flamengo

Arsenal have rejected an approach for Jorginho from Flamengo who wanted to sign the player this ♏month, according to .

The Gunners made it clear to the Brazilian cl♐ub that they do not want t🍬o lose the player with just a few days left in the transfer window.

The former Chelsea player looks set to sign for Flamengo when hisꩵ contract expires in the𒀰 summer with the two parties close to reaching an agreement.

The club from Rio de Janeiro are currently negotiating a pre-agreement contract with the 33-year-old who they hope to sign before June 15 when the Club World Cup commence༺s.

Flamengo have not yet ruled out a fi✨nal attempt for an immediate release, but t🐬he signal has been clear from the North London club.
