Joao Santos, the agent of Arsenal midfielder Jorginho, has provided an update concerning the future of the Italy international at the North London club.
The Gunners are keen on handing the former a new one-year deal and also include an additional one-year option in the deal, but both parties are yet to reach an agreement.
Jorginho wants to keep playing regularly and his agent has suggested that it will be key to determining whether he will remain at Arsenal beyond this summer.
“We will discuss with Arsenal about his contract being due to expire in June, it’s our priority,” Santos told Radio Sportiva.
“Arsenal have fantastic group and we will see if they need him for next season
“Returning to Italy? Why not? One day maybe.”

The 32-year-old has featured in 28 games across all competitions this term, missing just one of their last 11 games, and manager Mikel Arteta would love to retain his services for much longer from the look of things.
