Jorginho has been given the option to become part of Mikel Arteta's coaching staff next year.

Jorginho has extended his Arsenal contract. Mikel Arteta was desperate to keep the Italian midfielder around until at least 2025. Jorginho's deal was due to expire this summer and he had no shortage of options. Clubs in Italy and Saudi Arabia were keen on the 32-year-old, with the player himself admitting that he would be open to a lucrative switch to the Middle East. However, in the end, Arsenal prevailed and managed to extend the midfielder's deal by a further season.

There's a proposed offer of 30 million euros per year for him to play in Saudi Arabia. Jorginho has shown interest in the offer and is open to concrete proposals.
