Jorginho Commits to Arsenal: Rules Out Exit, Eyes Serie A Return

Arsenal’s midfield maestro, Jorginho, has unequivocally dismissed any notion of departing the club before his contract concludes in 2024.

Expressing his contentment with life at Arsenal, Jorginho praised manager Mikel Arteta, noting that the mentor imparts a wealth of knowledge to the team.

The Italian international revealed his aspirations to return to Serie A in the future, emphasizing, “I’m very much in doubt; I would like to return [to Italy], but I don’t know when the right time would be.” Speaking during his international duties in anticipation of the Azzurri’s European Championship qualifier against North Macedonia, he elaborated on his sentiments, saying, “I want to return, yes, but I don’t know when. I feel I still have things to do at Arsenal. It always takes time when you change teams, but the first six months at Arsenal were not negative, on the contrary.”

Highlighting the learning curve at his new club, Jorginho acknowledged the complexity of adapting to a different team and manager. However, he expressed satisfaction with his growth on the pitch and the valuable experiences gained. “Obviously, it takes time to understand the mechanisms better. Arteta gives you a billion pieces of information, but I am very happy there. I have grown a lot on the pitch, in experience. I changed teams, coaches, therefore more information. I understood the game even more and how to compete.”

Having made the switch from Chelsea to Arsenal in January of the current year, Jorginho’s commitment and enthusiasm for his current club remain unwavering.
