Arsenal are in advanced talks with Flamengo over a deal that would see Jorginho join the Brazilian club before the Club World Cup.

The midfielder is set to join Flamengo and they want to sign him before the Club World Cup starts in a fortnight.

A transfer window opened on June 1 and runs for 10 days so that clubs can sign and register players before the tournament in the USA on June 15.

Arsenal and Flamengo are in advanced talks over an agreement for Jorginho to join the Brazilian club before his contract with the Gunners expires on June 30.

Liverpool and Real Madrid struck a similar agreement with Trent Alexander-Arnold so he could play in the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid paid Liverpool over £8million to sign Alexander-Arnold early. It is unclear how much Arsenal will receive, but a deal is expected to go through before June 10.

If completed it will allow Jorginho to play at the Club World Cup, where he faces a reunion with Chelsea.

Flamengo have been drawn in the same group as Chelsea and will play them on June 20.

Jorginho spent four and a half years with the Blues and helped them win the Champions League in 2021.

The Italian left Chelsea in January 2023 to join Arsenal in a deal worth around £12m.
