However, the Gunners were keen on keeping the veteran at the Emirates until the end of the season, as they remain alive in the hunt for all four trophies this season, and turned down Flamengo's attempts to sign Jorginho.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://x.com/RudyGaletti/status/1886106061301547064" target="_blank">Italian journalist Rudy Galetti</a> has now reported that Flamengo have now signed a pre-contract deal with Jorginho over a move this summer to confirm that the midfielder would stay at Arsenal until the end of the season. The 33-year-old will join the Brazilian Serie A side ahead of their participation in the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>If Jorginho does join Flamengo in time for their 2025 Club World Cup group-stage clashes in June, he could potentially line up for the Brazilian side against his former club Chelsea on June 20 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Brazil-born Italian international has not been as pivotal to Mikel Arteta's side this season as he has fallen down the pecking order with Thomas Partey and Mikel Merino being utilised more. However, Jorginho remains an important squad member and could be key to the Gunners' season.</p>
