Barcelona have been linked with Italian international Jorginho on a number of occasions, ever since his Napoli days, and it looks as if their long-stading interest will continue into this summer.
The 32-year-old is out of contract in the summer, and could be a cheap alternative for the Blaugrana to fill the hole at the base of their midfield left by Sergio Busquets. Their top target is believed to be Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, but whether they can afford him is another matter.
Speaking to Radio Sportiva, as reported by Sport, his agent Joao Santos did note that Arsenal were his priority.
“We will speak to Arsenal about the expiry of his contract in June. For now it is our priority. Arsenal have a fantastic group and we will see if they need him for next season.”
The Blaugrana have maintained contact with his agent though, and are paying attention to his situation, according to the Catalan daily. Former Director of Football Mateu Alemany had earmarked Jorginho as a potential target before he moved from Chelsea, and even met with Santos at one stage. Should Sporting Director Deco prefer, or be forced into, looking at cheaper alternatives for the pivot role, Jorginho is likely to be high up that list.
Part of the reason for that is his quality and experience in the role, but working against him is the fact that Deco appears to be keen on a more physical option. Matteo Moretto has confirmed to Football España in the past that the Blaugrana want a profile similar to that of Onana if they cannot get him, someone with more ability to cover the ground.

Barcelona now becomes free transfer properties. How did Barcelona landed themselves into such a financial systemic decay for Allah's sake? Barcelona became piteous in every financial angles. Chai! What a pity! Barcelona fans should accept my deepest heartfelt condolences over this misery.

Barca has no stadium, Camp Nou had been sold to Spotify and demolished. The stadium being built is Spotify Stadium, not for Barca but for Spotify. If Barca should play there, they will have to pay. Barca has nothing, where can they afford your so-called €1bn? Liar....cheap lies.
Very funny. Seems you re waiting for us to trade words? I won't oblige you

Have you any business sense at all? Do you know the value of Barcelona as a club is worth Chelsea and Arsenal put together? Not a joke. Did you know that same Barcelona is renovating their 99,000 seater stadium for €1b? Hmm.... be guided.

We need a better option. We need a younger player in that position that can play four to five seasons for the club.
