After weeks of negotiations, midfielder Jorginho is preparing to land in Rio de Janeiro and sign a contract with Flamengo. The Italian-Brazilian player, who officially said goodbye to Arsenal this week , will be the first reinforcement for the squad for the Super Club World Cup , scheduled to take place in the United States in June 2025.
According to information from the "Uol Esporte" portal, Jorginho's arrival is scheduled for Friday (06) . After undergoing medical examinations, the midfielder will sign a contract valid until 2028. The athlete arrives on the market for free after breaking ties with the English club, a decision that involved financial sacrifices on the player's part.
To complete his termination with Arsenal, Jorginho gave up approximately £800,000 , equivalent to around R$6.2 million. The move was necessary for the player to become a free agent and be able to formalize the deal with the Brazilian club without contractual barriers. The move was seen internally as a sign of commitment to the red-and-black project.
While finalizing the final details of the negotiation, the athlete is enjoying a few days off with his family. Jorginho also celebrated his wedding with Irish singer Catherine Harding last Monday (02) . After the brief honeymoon, the midfielder will meet with Flamengo 's directors to complete the signing process.
Flamengo's football board is planning to strengthen its squad for the international tournament and the rest of the season. However, director José Boto stated that the club's policy will be based on financial responsibility and that any new names should only be announced in the window that opens between July 10 and September 2.

Flamengo has received a high-value offer from Superbet to fill the master sponsorship slot currently held by Pixbet. The information was released by Poder360. Under the current contract, Pixbet holds the right to match any offer before the club signs a new agreement , thus ensuring the possibility of maintaining the exclusive jersey design.
This clause is included in the contract signed between the parties, which prevents a direct sponsor change without the current partner having the opportunity to match the amounts. It's now up to Pixbet to decide whether to continue with the main sponsorship or make way for Superbet.
Pixbet currently holds the most valuable master sponsorship contract in Brazilian soccer, with staggered annual payments: R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third . The club also receives bonuses related to FlaBet, which is featured on another part of the kit, reinforcing the importance of partnerships with the betting industry for annual revenue.
The board carefully evaluates all aspects of the proposal, weighing the financial and strategic impact of the change. Ensuring economic stability is seen as essential to maintaining competitiveness in national and international tournaments.
While discussing the issue off the pitch, Flamengo is preparing to face Internacional this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The result will be crucial for the club's ambitions in the competition.

Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Filipe Luís will not have Arrascaeta, suspended, and will have more absences due to injury, but there is an expectation for the return of important names.
Mengão should have the return of Jorginho, who was absent from the team in the last match in the Brazilian Championship, when the team beat Mirassol 2-1. Nico De La Cruz, who has not played since July 16 due to a left knee injury , trained with the squad on Monday (11) and could be included. Training on Tuesday (12) will define his presence among those called up.
The most likely lineup for the match is: Rossi; Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Emerson Royal; Allan, Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Plata; Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luís.
Among the confirmed absences are Erick Pulgar, recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, and Danilo, who is undergoing treatment for a hamstring injury in his right thigh. Arrascaeta is also out due to suspension after receiving his third yellow card in the group stage against Deportivo Táchira.
The ball kicks off at 9:30 p.m. at Maracanã Stadium , and a packed house is expected to push Flamengo toward the return leg, scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio. The Rio de Janeiro team's goal is to build a comfortable lead and take advantage of the home advantage to put pressure on their opponents.
