Flamengo initially tried to sign him in January but were unwilling to pay a transfer fee.
According to BolaVIP, Jorginho has now agreed personal terms with the Brazilian side.
Flamengo’s head coach, former Chelsea defender Filipe Luis, played a key role in convincing him to make the move.
Jorginho’s return to Brazil would mark his first time playing professionally in his birth country.
