Jorginho’s agent insists the midfielder is aiming to stay at Chelsea this summer – and will hold talks over a new deal...CONTINUE READING
Jorginho has enjoyed a superb couple of years for club and country, starring in Chelsea’s Champions League win and Italy’s European Championships triumph in 2021, with his performances earning him a Ballon d’Or nomination.
However, there has been alot of speculation that he could depart the club this transfer window, and a move back to Italy has been mooted for the midfielder, meaning that Thomas Tuchel would need an immediate replacement.
Juventus would be the most likely destination for the player if he did feel like leaving the club – but despite all the rumours – the midfielder’s representative, Joao Santos, says the intention is to negotiate a new deal with Chelsea.
‘Chelsea are the priority,’ Santos told Tuttomercatoweb.
‘His contract will expire in 2023, I think we will talk about the renewal from September.’
Look – Jorginho is a world class midfielder that does a decent job in the middle of the pitch for Tuchel – but he is getting on a bit now and the fear is that he will start declining
Many will be glad to see that he is staying at the club – but it will not mean that Tuchel will have no desire to splash the cash and sign a midfielder that can do a better job than what the Italian does
As we said – he does a decent job for Chelsea – but he is not a player that is missed when he is out injured or rested.
There are players out there that Chelsea should be signing and players in the side that should be let go – Jorginho is one of those players guys.
