Although Jorginho initially faced the prospect of limited playing time in the 2023-24 season due to the arrivals of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz, he has since become a key player for Mikel Arteta's side. Despite starting the season on the bench, he has impressed in recent months, contributing one goal and one assist in 28 appearances.
Particularly notable were his performances in wins over Newcastle United and Liverpool, as well as his role in Arsenal's Champions League victory against Porto. His presence in the midfield has also allowed Rice more freedom to attack.
While Jorginho could potentially leave Arsenal for free at the end of the season, the club has the option to extend his contract for another year. However, reports suggest that Arsenal intends to offer him a completely new deal, with discussions ongoing for a two-year extension until 2026.
Arsenal is optimistic about reaching an agreement with Jorginho and his representatives. The midfielder has made 44 appearances for Arsenal across all competitions, scoring one goal and providing two assists, but rumors persist about a possible return to Italy if he decides to leave the Premier League.
