Jorginho and Tierney released by Arsenal | OneFootball

Arsenal dropped their full retained list on Wednesday ahead of the 2025/26 season, and a few players are moving on.

Jorginho and Kieran Tierney will both leave the club when their contracts run out at the end of June.

The Italian midfielder is set to join Flamengo in Brazil. He signed from Chelsea for £12 million in January 2023 and made 79 appearances during his time in north London.

Meanwhile, Tierney played 144 times for the Gunners. He spent last season out on loan at Real Sociedad but only featured 13 times in the league after returning. Now, he’s expected to make a move back to Celtic.

The club also confirmed that Thomas Partey’s deal runs out this month too, though talks are still ongoing about keeping him. Arteta has made it clear he wants Partey to stay, so negotiations are in the works.

Meanwhile, Neto and Raheem Sterling, both on loan, will head back to their parent clubs, Bournemouth and Chelsea, as their spells come to an end.
