Barcelona seems keen on adding two players to their squad, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, a Spanish sports daily. Despite the buzz, both players are firmly part of North London club’s plans.
Jorginho, the Italian international, has seen less playtime at Arsenal this season due to the arrival of Declan Rice. Despite this, Jorginho and his agent have made it clear that leaving the Emirates Stadium is not in their plans. His contract runs until 2024, with an option for an extra year.
On the other hand, Kai Havertz, who joined Arsenal in a high-profile transfer from Chelsea, has faced challenges in adapting to North London. Despite this, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed his confidence in the German playmaker during a recent press conference, emphasizing his commitment to supporting Havertz’s development.
While both players are integral to Arsenal, reports from Spain suggest that Barcelona is considering them as potential targets for the upcoming January transfer window. Barcelona believes that the market might present opportunities similar to the past summer when they secured Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo on loan. The Catalan club thinks players like Jorginho and Havertz, who were once considered ‘star signings,’ could become available at a lower price.
Arsenal initially paid €11.3m for Jorginho from Chelsea (valued then at €35m, now €25m) and €75m for Havertz (valued then and now at €55m). Barcelona’s interest is rooted in the expectation that these players might be accessible at a more favorable cost in the upcoming transfer window.
