Jorginho reflects on his time at Arsenal with heartfelt words as he confirms his departure from the club.

Jorginho joined Arsenal in 2023, and after two and a half seasons, the 33-year-old Brazilian-born Italian international is set to leave the Emirates as his contract expires on June 30.

Jorginho joined Arsenal from Chelsea in 2023 for £12m and has since made 79 appearances for the club in all competitions. This season was a rough one for him, as he only managed to make nine starts in the Premier League this term.

There was speculation that he would leave the club at the end of the season. He had yet to confirm that, and now, he has officially announced his departure from the Gunners via social media, thanking the club.

Jorginho extended a hand of gratitude to the club, noting that they have been more than a family to him and have shaped his career in exceptional ways.

Jorginho added that he always gave his best shot in everything he did and always supported Arsenal, whether he was a starter or on the bench.

The former Chelsea defensive midfielder added that leaving the club is a difficult decision that had to be made since he felt like he was at home anytime he was at the Emirates.

"Sometimes a season is about more than just football; it's about moments, people, and being part of something bigger. When I came to Arsenal, I didn't just join a club, I joined a family, one filled with purpose. I gave everything I had for the team and the fans," Jorginho shared in a heartfelt video.

"Whether I was a starter or on the bench, I always felt valued. That's rare in football, and I'll never forget it. It's time to say goodbye, or rather, see you later.

"When a place feels like home, leaving is tough. I'm leaving with my head held high," Jorginho emphasized, expressing gratitude to his teammates, the coaching staff, and the fans."

The midfielder first arrived in England in 2018, signing with Chelsea before moving to Arsenal. The European Championship winner with Italy made a total of 80 appearances for Arsenal. Last season, he lost his place in Mikel Arteta's squad and is now expected to join Flamengo shortly.
