Adrien Rabiot is set to leave Juventus when his contract expires at the end of the season and the Serie A giants are targeting Arsenal’s Jorginho as the French star’s replacement.
There will be a lot of interest in the 29-year-old this summer due to the absence of a transfer fee and sources have told CaughtOffside that Newcastle United, Manchester United and Arsenal are monitoring Rabiot’s situation.
The midfielder has been a key player for Juventus this season, featuring in 31 games for the Italian club. A player of his importance will need replacing and it is believed that Juve have their eye on Arsenal’s Jorginho – who is also out of contract at the end of the campaign.
The 32-year-old is open to a return to Serie A for the 2024/25 campaign but there is interest from other countries.
According to sources, Jorginho received a lot of attention from European and Asian clubs during the winter transfer window; with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, in addition to Saudi Pro league sides Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq, already expressing their interest ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Juventus ready to make a move for Arsenal’s Jorginho
Should Jorginho not sign a new deal with Arsenal, Juventus have a strong chance of landing the Italian star given his desire to return to Italy.
The midfielder has surprisingly been an important player for the Gunners this season as the 32-year-old’s inclusion in the starting 11 has allowed Declan Rice to be more effective further up the pitch.
Jorginho still has a lot to offer and the race for his signature is something to keep an eye on over the summer months.
Also, Jorginho’s priority will be to extend his contract with Arsenal. The Italian player is happy to be at the London club. If Arsenal does not want to extend the contract of the 32-year-old player, they will evaluate other options.
