Flamengo announce Jorginho as new signing

Flamengo have announced the signing of midfielder Jorginho, following confirmation from Arsenal that his contract has been ended by mutual consent with immediate effect.

The 33-year-old, who represents Italy internationally but was born and brought up in Brazil, has now officially joined Flamengo on a three-year deal.

Jorginho made the move to Arsenal from Chelsea in January 2023 and quickly became a useful part of Mikel Arteta’s squad.

He featured 79 times for the Gunners and chipped in with two goals. Although he didn’t always start, his leadership and experience were highly valued - so much so that he captained the side on several occasions.

He arrives at Flamengo just in time for the expanded 32-team Club World Cup in the U.S. this year, where they’ll be up against ES Tunis, LAFC, and Chelsea in the group stage.
