Jorginho’s contract at Arsenal lasts until the end of this season, with an option of a further year.
Two days ago, the former Napoli star’s representative admitted he could return to Serie A in the summer, naming Napoli, Juventus, AC Milan, AS Roma and Inter Milan as potential options for his client.
Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal are now added to the list if a report from TuttoMercatoWeb is to be believed.
The Arsenal player is the subject of transfer ‘sirens’ due to interest from Saudi Arabia, and those two teams are presented as the options.
Al-Hilal will host Al-Ittihad at the Kingdom Arena later today, and TMW state Joao Santos, the 32-year-old’s agent, will attend the tie in Riyadh.
Santos could take advantage of this clash and hold meetings with the two Middle Eastern clubs, to possibly lay the foundations for a summer transfer.
Jorginho has a goal and an assist from 25 games for Arsenal this season. Mikel Arteta has relied upon the midfielder regularly this year, resulting in reports in the UK of the Gunners wanting to offer him a new deal.
The reported interest from Saudi may be a tactic from Santos, to put pressure on Arsenal to get a better deal for Jorginho.
