Jorginho's agent drops hint over Chelsea exit amid talk of Maurizio Sarri reunion at Juventus

Jorginho's agent has provided an update on his client's future following reports that he could return to Italy in the summer.

Joining Chelsea from Napoli ahead of the 2018/19 season, the midfielder's role in the Blues team has divided the opinion of fans since his move to west London.

With Maurizio Sarri moving N'Golo Kante further forward so the Italian international could play in a deeper role, many thought that the appointment of Frank Lamaprd as head coach would limit the player's time on the pitch.

However, the 28-year-old has continued to feature regularly in the capital and so far has seven goals and two assists from his 37 games in all competitions this term.

Jorginho has been linked with a move back to Serie A since his Chelsea transfer, with reports suggesting that Sarri is keen to reunite with him once again but this time at Juventus.

A swap deal has been mooted and it would see Miralem Pjanic, who has been linked with Barcelona, swap Turin for SW6.

Given the talk of a switch to the Bianconeri this summer, the player's agent has now spoken out on the midfielder's long-term future and he has refused to rule out a move to Juventus,

"I don't know whether Juve want Jorginho or not, as he has three years left on his Chelsea contract. We'll see," he told Tuttomercatoweb.

"He is a professional, so if an important club in Italy calls, then why not?"

Juventus currently have a number of midfielders on their books but things could look different next season with a couple of players linked with an exit, thus creating room for Jorginho at the Allianz Stadium.

With Pjanic mentioned in regards to a potential move to either Chelsea or Barcelona, Adrien Rabiot has also been in the headlines about a switch to the Premier League.
