The Italian is set for a move to Brazilian giants Flamengo with talks between the two parties entering the final stage. The 33-year-old has reportedly signed a three-year pre-contract agreement with the Rio de Janeiro club. The deal will be formalized in June during FIFA&rsquo;s pre-Club World Cup transfer window.<\/p><p>Flamengo have long been admirers of Jorginho and made their interest known as early as December. With his Arsenal contract expiring at the end of the current season, the Brazilian club stepped up negotiations and are now poised to land the experienced midfielder on a free transfer. Jorginho is expected to sign a deal running until 2028.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#128680;&#128308;&#9899;&#65039; Jorginho set to join Flamengo on free transfer, here we go!<br><br>Plan confirmed since January and deal set to be sealed for the midfielder who&rsquo;s leaving Arsenal in June.<br><br>Three year deal until 2028 at Flamengo verbally agreed, as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/venecasagrande?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@venecasagrande<\/a> reports.

Real Sociedad&rsquo;s Martin Zubimendi has reportedly been identified as a potential replacement, with Mikel Arteta eager to reinforce his midfield options ahead of the 2025\/26 campaign. Arteta is believed to have personally pushed for the move as he identified Zubimendi as a crucial piece in reshaping Arsenal&rsquo;s midfield. New sporting director Andrea Berta is also aligned with Arteta&rsquo;s vision, with the duo believing that the Zubimendi&rsquo;s addition will significantly elevate Arsenal&rsquo;s midfield.<\/p><p>Zubimendi has long been admired for his tactical intelligence and ability to dictate the tempo of the game. The 26-year-old has a &euro;60 million ($68m) release clause in his contract and Arsenal are now prepared to trigger it. Arsenal are intent on adding a more progressive profile to their midfield and Zubimendi fits that profile perfectly.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/trent-alexander-arnold-confirms-liverpool-departure-after-20-years-at-the-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Trent Alexander-Arnold Confirms Liverpool Departure After 20 Years at the Club<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Since making his debut in the 2018\/19 season, Martin Zubimendi has established himself as a standout performer for Real Sociedad.
