Arsenal are planning contract talks with midfielder Jorginho, according to Standard Sport.
The Gunners are expected to strengthen the defensive midfield department this summer. They are poised to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad.
Thomas Partey and Jorginho have recently been tipped to leave on free transfers, considering their contracts are due to expire on June 30.
However, there has been a fresh twist over the past 24 hours. Partey has been offered the chance to extend his deal for a couple of seasons.
Meanwhile, the club are also open to keeping Jorginho. The Italian star could sign a one-year rolling contract to prolong his stay in London.
Jorginho has been discussing a pre-contract with Flamengo over the past few months, but he could make a surprise U-turn to continue at Arsenal.
Manager Mikel Arteta looks determined to add more depth in the squad for next season and seems prepared to keep Partey and Jorginho in the ranks.
