Jorginho's agent confirms transfer talks as Chelsea ace linked with summer move

The agent of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has opened the door for an exit from Stamford Bridge, discussing Juventus' interest and revealing two clubs have approached him.

Brazil-born Italy international Jorginho has been an integral part of the Blues' side for the past two seasons, having followed former boss Maurizio Sarri to West London from Napoli.

Sarri has since moved on from Juventus and reports have continually suggested a reunion could be on the cards, although making Chelsea agree to a sale will be difficult.

However, Jorginho's agent Joao Santos has opened the door for a potential move and, while he says there has been no contact with Juventus, two unnamed sides have made approaches.

“He is a complete player. He is in the national team and he is the vice-captain of Chelsea. Over time he has gained experience and is now a real leader,” Santos told Radio Musica Television’s program Taca La Marca, as relayed by Napoli Magazine.

“If you ask me if Sarri likes Jorginho, I will say yes because of their past [association]. I can’t say anything about the market, since I had no contact [with Juventus].

“Jorginho still has three years of contract and is doing well at Chelsea. However, if an important offer arrives, the negotiation could go through. In this sense, two top European clubs, not Italian, have contacted me."
