Mikel Arteta, an Arsenal player, has stated that he has already reached a “verbal agreement” with his new club and is considered to be at the summit of Arsenal may be on the brink of bidding farewell to one of their current first-team players in the coming months.
Kieran Tierney, an Arsenal player, has signed a pre-contract agreement to join Celtic when his contract at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of the current season. This move could pave the way for him to find a new club before the summer. Mikel Arteta will be faced with some intriguing considerations this season, as he is likely to need to improve in several areas.
The Tierney decision had already been made, and the Scot was well aware that he would not receive a new contract, despite the fact that he had been used somewhat recently. The Celtic agreement seemed to be inevitable. However, Jorginho, a 33-year-old veteran midfielder, is also out of contract this summer and it appears unlikely that he will secure a new contract.
Arsenal will be required to make difficult decisions in order to progress towards the conclusion of their wait for a Premier League title, as there will be a small number of players who are no longer considered to be of sufficient quality to remain at the club, as was the case last summer.
The Gunners do have the option to extend the contract for an additional year. Consequently, they have the option to either retain the Brazil-born Italian international as a squad player or to increase the contract to guarantee a fee for his services.
However, it is probable that Arsenal will permit Jorginho to depart for free if that is his preference, as he has only appeared in six Premier League matches this season.
He has been contemplating a return to Brazil, his birthplace, for several weeks, although there was speculation about a potential offer from Qatar. Currently, the midfielder has declined the offer and is expected to return to Brazil, as reported by Bolavip Brasil via SportWitness.
‘Family pressure’ is a significant factor in his anticipated return. According to RTI Esporte, Flamengo and Jorginho have reached a “verbal agreement.” A meeting with the club’s sporting director, José Boto, is scheduled for March to finalise the terms of the prospective agreement.
Currently, Jorginho is unrestricted in his ability to sign a pre-contract agreement with any club outside of England. This situation would only be altered if Arsenal notifies the player that the one-year extension is being activated or if an alternative contract arrangement is reached.
“At the outset, there were fewer games, and he was allotted fewer minutes, as we do not play as many midweek matches.” However, I advised him to be prepared, as there will be a moment when he must perform. It will not be in a week; rather, it will be either today or tomorrow. He is at his best when he is required to perform, as a result of his meticulous preparation.
