Jorginho wants to stay at Arsenal, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners only signed the Italian international during the January transfer window but recent reports have emerged that the veteran midfielder could be keen to return to Serie A in the coming weeks. Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via TeamTalk, claimed that the 31-year-old may consider leaving north London this summer as he wants regular game time ahead of the Azzurri's potential Euro 2024 campaign
But transfer insider Romano has now reported that it is unlikely Jorginho leaves despite talk of a reunion with former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri at Lazio. Speaking to CaughtOffside, Romano said: "Arsenal fans can rest easy – my understanding for the moment is that Jorginho is happy at Arsenal and has good chances to stay at the club, despite rumours about a reunion with Maurizio Sarri at Lazio this summer.
"Jorginho only just joined back in January and made an impressive start, even if he isn’t likely to be as much of a regular and focal point of the team as he was during his peak years at Chelsea. Still, to reiterate, there is nothing serious or advanced with Lazio or any other club.
“Remember as well – Granit Xhaka is expected to leave. A deal is in place with Bayer Leverkusen, which can go through once Arsenal complete the signing of Declan Rice.

"We’ll see if things change later in the summer, but I’m not sure Arsenal would lose both Xhaka and Jorginho in the same window.”
