Arsenal announced Friday that they came to a mutual agreement with Italian midfielder Jorginho to terminate his contract resulting in free agency with the player moving to Brazil's Flamengo.

The 33-year-old will compete with Flamengo at the FIFA Club World Cup with the club announcing his signing shortly after Arsenal's statement. Jorginho first joined the Gunners in January 2023 making 78 appearances for the club. He was a crucial squad player in Arsenal's first two title challenges against Manchester City. The Italian filled in for the oft-injured Thomas Partey allowing Declan Rice to play further up the pitch. Though, most of his Premier League success came during his time at Chelsea.
