Jorginho's transfer from Arsenal falls apart due to his own demands

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho was close to leaving the Gunners this winter, but the move to Flamengo fell through because of his salary expectations.

Details: According to Globo, the deal collapsed after Jorginho demanded a higher wage than Flamengo was willing to offer. The Brazilian club proposed €3.3 million per year, while the Italian international held out for over €4 million annually, ultimately rejecting Flamengo's offer.

It is reported that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has requested the club's board to extend the 33-year-old midfielder's contract for another year, potentially tying him to the club until the summer of 2026.

Reminder: This season, Jorginho has made 17 appearances for Arsenal without registering a goal or assist.
