Turkish giants Galatasaray are reportedly considering an offer for Italy international Jorginho, who spent the first three Arsenal games on the bench.

According to the report, he may consider an offer from Galatasaray, where he would reunite with his ex-Napoli teammates Victor Osimhen and Dries Mertens.

Jorginho signed a one-year contract extension with Arsenal in May 2024. His current deal at the Emirates Stadium runs out in June 2025, but it includes an option to extend for a further campaign.

Jorginho was not called up for Italy’s games against France and Israel after unconvincing performances at EURO 2024.

The 32-year-old joined Arsenal from Chelsea in January 2023. He has scored five goals in 57 appearances with Italy and was part of the team that won EURO 2020.

The summer transfer window is still open for Turkish clubs who can register new signings until September 13.
