Napoli midfield ace Piotr Zielinski is the favorite to take the Serbian midfield maestro's place, although two more names are also in the running to arrive in midfield.
Italy will face Spain in the second semi-final in Enschede on June 15, before playing either hosts Netherlands or Croatia in the third place/final three days later.
Jorginho has completed a deadline day move across London as the Italian midfielder swapped blue for red in a £12 million move from Chelsea to Arsenal. He becomes just the fourth ever Italian to play for Arsenal and the former Napoli man will add important cover to the midfield. Below, we take you through a brief history of Italian players at Arsenal as well as the impact Jorginho could have on their title hopes for this season.
Runaway Serie A leaders Napoli are not alone in the race to sign soon-to-be free agent Jorginho from Chelsea at the end of the season. As reported by Spanish outlet Sport, La Liga pacesetters Barcelona have added the Italian midfielder to their list of targets.
Agent Joao Santos says despite no contacts being established between the two parties, Jorginho would be happy with an approach when the winter transfer window opens.
Juventus are set to step up their efforts to sign Jorginho. The Bianconeri wish to overhaul their midfield in the summer. They are mulling over the opportunity of onboarding both the Azzurri maestro and Paul Pogba. Director Cherubini is in London.
Tielemans’ profile perfectly fits Juventus’ requirements, but he is not the only one in the fray as a reinforcement. Max Allegri’s outfit also have one eye on Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Paul Pogba, Leandro Paredes, Jorginho, and Davide Fratessi.
A host of Serie A clubs have been linked with the EURO 2020 winner, including Milan, Inter, Juve, Napoli and Roma, but as per the latest reports, it is the Bianconeri who have expressed their concrete interest to his agent Joao Santos.
Champions League and Euro 2020 winner Jorginho could be on his way to a return to Serie A after his agent has suggested that it would be his 'dream' move to head back to Italy, as rumours hot up that the Chelsea midfielder could be on his way out of Stamford Bridge. We also take a look at the midfielder's role in Italy's World Cup play-off exit.
Giorgio Chiellini was the first Italy player to speak after the defeat against North Macedonia: “It is tough to explain this result. We played a good game, and we just needed to score. We were not presumptuous, although we lacked something." Jorginho expressed regrets for his previous misses.
Italy regista Jorginho’s rise to footballing glory could have been extremely different, had he not moved to Chelsea. After four years at the helm of Napoli’s midfield, Jorginho was signed by the Blues along with the deep lying playmaker’s coach at the club Maurizio Sarri.
The midfield pivot has garnered the attention of several top giants, from Juventus and Milan to Inter and Roma. All four teams are in search of a proven center-half and Jorginho’s status certainly ranks high in their wish list.
