Mundo Deportivo, a Spanish sports daily, has alleged that Barcelona is interested in acquiring the services of two athletes.
The North London club appears to have both players firmly in their plans, despite the speculation.
Jorginho, the Italian international, has experienced a decrease in playing time at Arsenal this season as a result of the acquisition of Declan Rice.
Nevertheless, his agent and he have been unambiguous in their assertion that a departure from the Emirates Stadium is not in the cards. His contract is set to expire in 2024; however, Arsenal has the option to buy an additional year.
In the interim, Kai Havertz, who relocated to Arsenal in a high-profile transfer from Chelsea, has encountered a difficult start to his tenure in North London.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has maintained confidence in the German playmaker, despite this. “I would like to assist him to the best of my ability,” Arteta stated during a recent press conference.
Provide the means, assurance, and time necessary to completely utilize his gift, and be by his side. He is prospering in numerous aspects of his game, and we are cognizant of the one that still necessitates improvement. “However, it is imperative to offer assistance, as it is with any player,” Arteta continued. “Especially when you observe a player’s daily performance and the effort and dedication he exerts.” “You provide them with additional resources and assistance, and we are responsible for their failure.” The two Arsenal players have been identified as potential targets by the La Liga powerhouses, according to a Spanish newspaper. They are reportedly evaluating their options for the upcoming January transfer window.
Arsenal paid €11.3 million to Chelsea for Jorginho, who is currently valued at €25 million. Arsenal also paid €75 million to acquire Havertz, who is currently valued at €55 million. Although it is uncertain whether Barcelona will formally pursue either player, the fact that Hansi Flick has identified them as potential targets indicates that the Spanish powerhouses are preparing for a busy summer transfer season. Barcelona is determined to regain the title of the most successful European football club. Consequently, they will endeavor to attract some of the most experienced and talented players to the Camp Nou.
