Jorginho's Arsenal deal expires in June and the plan is for the midfielder to play out the season in London before moving to Fla midway through the Brasileiro season in June.
Talks are centred over a three-year contract between the two parties.
Fla snapped up former Juventus captain and Manchester City defender Danilo last week.
