Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has officially left the North London club after both parties reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract with immediate effect, making him a free agent.
The Gunners confirmed the departure in an official statement released on Friday, bringing an end to the Italian's two-and-a-half-year stint at the Emirates Stadium.
"We can confirm that we've reached a mutual agreement with Jorginho to end his contract with immediate effect to become a free agent," Arsenal's statement read.
Jorginho's Arsenal Journey
The 33-year-old midfielder joined Arsenal from London rivals Chelsea in January 2023 and went on to make 78 appearances across all competitions for Mikel Arteta's side. During his time with the Gunners, Jorginho brought experience and technical quality to Arsenal's midfield as they challenged for the Premier League title in consecutive seasons.
Prior to his Arsenal spell, the Italian international had established himself as one of the Premier League's most composed midfielders during his time at Chelsea, following a successful period at Napoli in Serie A. His career also includes stints at Hellas Verona, where he began making a name for himself in Italian football.
Next Destination: Brazil
According to reports, Jorginho is now set to embark on a new chapter in his career by joining Brazilian giants Flamengo. The midfielder has reportedly agreed to a three-year deal with the Rio de Janeiro-based club, marking his first venture into South American football.
This move represents a significant shift for the Euro 2020 winner, who has spent the majority of his professional career in European football, primarily in Italy and England.
Arsenal fans will now be watching closely to see how the club plans to strengthen their midfield options ahead of the new season, with Jorginho's departure creating space in both the squad and wage bill for potential new signings.
