The Chelsea evening headlines as Juventus eye a swap deal and Coutinho is sent a message

Here are your Chelsea evening headlines for Thursday, March 19.

Juventus eye Jorginho

Juventus and former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri are reportedly eyeing a move for Jorginho in the next transfer window.

The midfielder formerly played under Sarri at Napoli before following him to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2018.

The Italy international has been linked with a return to Serie A since last summer when Sarri took over in Turin, but stayed in the Premier League and has had a successful season under Frank Lampard.

Jorginho's agent spoke in February about a possible move, insisting that while his priority is to stay in West London, they would consider an offer from the Serie A giants should one arrive.

And if they do decide to make a move, reports in Italy suggest they will try to sweeten a deal for Chelsea by including Miralem Pjanic as a replacement.

Coutinho transfer message

Former Barcelona star Rivaldo has urged Philippe Coutinho to snub interest from Chelsea this summer and fight for his place in Spain.

The Brazilian international is currently on loan at Bayern Munich from the Catalan giants, having failed to really make an impression in La Liga.

This season, the 27-year-old has netted eight Bundesliga goals and notched another six assists. However, with just 15 league starts he has struggled to get a regular spot.

The Blues have been linked with a move away from Barcelona once again for the 2020/21 season, with a potential season on loan at Stamford Bridge.

But Rivaldo believes Coutinho should snub any move away and look to see out his contract until 2023 at the Camp Nou.

Five players most affected by postponement

Premier League fixtures have been put on hold until at least April 30th amid the worldwide outbreak of coronavirus.

The decision to temporarily suspend the league was taken at the end of last week following the diagnosis of both Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.

The Premier League have now announced that the June 1st limit to finish the campaign has been "extended indefinitely for the 2019/20 season."

This means that the season could extend beyond June 30th, with five Blues players facing an uncertain future.

Should that happen, we took a look at the players that would be affected in the link above.
