Flamengo to Sign Top European Player Known as 'Bomba' in Brazilian Football Circle
Jorginho's move to Flamengo is official! This Italian midfield maestro, leaving Arsenal behind, is all set to join forces with Filipe Luís' squad, according to Fabrizio Romano. The deal, which wraps up at the end of the European season, comes without a penny leaving Jorginho's pocket, making it a free transfer.
Jorginho, now 33, has inked a three-year contract that takes him through 2028, a major boost for the Brazilian powerhouse. This midfielder boasts a trophy cabinet that includes triumphs like the Champions League with Chelsea and the European Championship with Italy, both scored in 2021. That year, he reigned supreme as the best European player, outshining Kante and Kevin de Bruyne.
This season, Jorginho has put one goal past the opposition in 26 matches, adding to Arsenal's Premier League second position and their momentum in the Champions League semifinals.
