Jorginho committed to Chelsea… even if Maurizio Sarri leaves

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho insists he is not thinking about moving to another club even if manager Maurizio Sarri decides to go elsewhere.

Sarri is one of the main contenders to succeed Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus, who is leaving this summer after five years at the helm.

The 60-year-old still has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, with an option for another 12 months, but Juventus believe he would consider a return to Italy.

Including his time at Napoli, Jorginho has played under the Italian coach for the last four years and their relationship was a major reason why he signed for Chelsea.

But Jorginho, who has come under criticism from the club’s fanbase during the campaign, said: “I have four years left on my contract.

"I see this as a very positive campaign. It's only natural that at a club like Chelsea, there is going to be all this pressure. There will always be criticism, but I remained calm and relaxed.

"I'll always have something new to learn and I've seen consistent growth throughout the season."
