Galatasaray is interested in Arsenal star Jorginho after Man Utd’s under-fire star Casemiro turned them down. And they are prepared to test Arsenal’s resolve to hold on to a player who has less than a year left on his current contract.
The 32-year-old Italian midfielder is regarded as essential to Arsenal’s depth chart, even though he has not yet featured for the team this year.
The former Chelsea player is a favorite of manager Mikel Arteta, both on and off the field.
After suffering a shoulder injury during his first training session, Mikel Merino will be sidelined for a few weeks.
Furthermore, Declan Rice’s red card against Brighton means he will miss Sunday’s North London derby, which further increases the likelihood that Jorginho will not be permitted to leave this week.
Galatasaray had originally hoped to sign Casemiro, but after his disastrous performance in United’s 3-0 home loss to Liverpool, an exit seemed more likely.
Erik ten Hag, however, stood by the seasoned midfielder and stated that he is still an important component of his plans.
