Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has reportedly received a proposal from Flamengo ahead of his expected exit this summer.
Jorginho has made 78 competitive appearances for the Gunners since joining the club from London rivals Chelsea in January 2023.
However, the Italy international has been on the fringes of the Arsenal squad this season, as demonstrated by the fact that he has been restricted to just nine Premier League starts this term.
Having found regular game time hard to come by, it has been apparent for some time that this will be Jorginho's final season as an Arsenal player.

Jorginho receives Flamengo proposal
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Jorginho is still expected to depart when his contract expires at the end of June.
The update claims that the former Chelsea man has a contract proposal to join Brazilian side Flamengo on a free transfer this summer.
While Flamengo are in pole position to sign Jorginho, there has been speculation linking him to a potential move to Saudi Arabia.
However, Romano states that no discussions are taking place between Jorginho's representatives and Neom FC, who have already secured promotion to the Saudi Pro League.
Jorginho seemingly looks set to return to the country of his birth to play his club football outside of Europe for the first time in his career.
The experienced midfielder would join a Flamengo side that are currently managed by former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid left-back Filipe Luis.

Has Jorginho played his last game for Arsenal?
There is a possibility that Jorginho has already competed in his final game for Arsenal due to a chest injury.
Jorginho has not featured since playing the duration of Arsenal's 1-1 home draw against Brentford earlier this month.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's meeting with Crystal Palace, Arteta was unable to offer any guarantees that Jorginho would return to action before the end of the season.
