Arsenal star wants to leave after contract talks stall

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho is eyeing a new challenge away from the club after stalling over contract negotiations.

The Italian signed for the Gunners from the Blues in January 2023. He has been a key player in the first-team squad.

However, he may not be guaranteed regular game time next term with the club planning to sign a marquee midfielder.

Calciomercato now report that contract talks with Jorginho have suddenly stopped and he is now more likely to leave.

Jorginho's current deal expires at the end of June, but the Gunners have the option to extend his contract for another year.

It is left to be seen whether the club will trigger the clause or allow him to leave on a free transfer during the summer.

Juventus are currently keeping a close watch on the proceedings. They are ready to discuss a pre-contract with the Italian.

Inter Milan and AC Milan could also enter the race for Jorginho, having made enquiries to his agent in recent months.
