Jorginho's agent offers Chelsea boost amid Juventus transfer speculation

Jorginho is happy at Chelsea amid transfer speculation linking him with a move to Juventus, according to the midfielder's agent.

The 28-year-old Italy international has been linked with a reunion with Maurizio Sarri in Turin after two years with the Blues.

However, Jorginho's agent Joao Santos has dismissed the rumours - and even suggested Jorginho could extend his current deal at Stamford Bridge.

“Juventus? I read that, but I never had contact with them,” he told calciomercato.it.

“Neither Sarri nor Fabio Paratici (Juve CEO) have ever called me for information on Jorginho. To date, I know absolutely nothing about this situation.

“The lad is very happy in London, where he is showing his worth and where he still has three more years on his contract.

"In fact, in July, there is the possibility of adding a fourth [year] and opening negotiations for a renewal of the contract with Chelsea.

“We don’t know what the marketing strategies of Juventus are, but these are our plans for our future. And I repeat, to date, neither Juventus nor any other team has come forward.”
