The Italian international has struggled to consistently find a spot in Mikel Arteta's first team having only started seven games this Premier League season. He also hasn't been able to show-off his leadership skills which were a key part of his status at Chelsea and his national side.
With Jorginho's contract running out this summer, the 33-year-old has reportedly been analysing his options regarding a transfer move. In fact, the Arsenal player's agent, Joao Santos, is ready to begin discussions with multiple continents.
Alongside plans to hold discussions with his current club over a new deal, the midfielder's agent is reportedly also planning talks with other clubs in England, as well as sides in Italy Saudi Arabia and Brazil.
He told Daily Arsenal : "Jorginho has returned to London. From April 15, I will begin talks with clubs in England, including Arsenal, as well as teams from Italy, Saudi Arabia and Brazil."
Despite Santos stating that he will hold conversations with the Gunners, reports from Italy last month detailed that Jorginho had already agreed to leave Arsenal and join Brazilian side Flamengo.
This rumour was seemingly backed by reports that the Italian had travelled to Brazil to speak with South American sides, however Santos had confirmed that his player was there simply with family on vacation.
A move to Saudi Arabia could be one of interest to Jorginho. The Saudi Pro-League love to bring in big-name players who are known winners, a profile in which the Arsenal player fits well. Euro 2020, Champions League, Europa League and Club World Cup are just some of the trophies in Jorginho's cabinet.
Although his future might be uncertain, Arsenal's No.20 would surely want to leave the Premier League on a good note should he eventually decide to do so. Despite the Premier League looking like it is out of Arteta's reach now, the Italian will certainly push for a second Champions League trophy.
