Jorginho's agent makes transfer claim about Chelsea midfielder amid Napoli links

Jorginho's agent says that the Italian midfielder will "100%" be staying at Chelsea this summer despite transfer links to Napoli.

The 29-year-old joined Chelsea in 2018, moving to Stamford Bridge in the same summer as former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri.

When Sarri left Chelsea at the end of the 2018/19 season and subsequently joined Juventus, Jorginho was heavily linked with a move to Turin - but Chelsea held onto the Italy international.

Rumours have grown in recent weeks that Napoli are now considering a move to bring Sarri back as manager. And as such, links to Jorginho have also begun again.

However, Jorginho's agent Joao Santos says that no move will be taking place - and talks over a potential new contract could even begin.

“He has a two-year contract with Chelsea," Santos told Tuttomercato (via Sport Witness).

"He thinks about playing the European Championship. And then the World Cup in Qatar. He will remain at Chelsea, 100%.

"We will talk about [a new contract] in a few months."

Questions over Jorginho's future began in the build up to the January transfer window when the midfielder went nearly two months without making a Premier League start.

After substitute appearances against Burnley and Sheffield United over the beginning of November, the midfielder went five straight games without making it off the bench under Frank Lampard.

However, since Thomas Tuchel's arrival the Italy international is once again playing a large role in the team.
