Santos spoke about the priority of Jorginho’s contract with Chelsea and the interest of Juventus
Italy’s agent says Jorginho is open to a stay at Stamford Bridge but the Serie A giants are watching him.
What did Santos say about Jorginho?
The midfielder is only tied to a contract at Chelsea until 2023, but an Italy spokesman says a fresh deal would be a priority if financial difficulties at Stamford Bridge can be overcome. Uncertainty reigns in west London following sanctions imposed on Chelsea owner Abramovich by the UK government, with the Russian billionaire having his assets frozen and prevented from investing any additional funds in the PL club or benefiting financially from them.
No new deals can be agreed at this time, which means renewal talks are not at the table, but Euro 2020 winner Jorginho could enter talks if the club’s takeover goes through.
Jorginho’s spokesman Joao Santos said they have a contract with Chelsea until 2023 and this is a specific moment for the club where there are no negotiations, also because the market is blocked on both entry and exit. according to Santos, if the situation unfolds, the priority will be to upgrade.
A little about the topic
As long as the 30-year-old and his agent are willing to discuss a new deal with Chelsea, exit isn’t being ignored entirely, and a return to Serie A for the former Napoli star has been speculated for some time. The midfielder moved to England in 2018 when he followed Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge and has been in contention for Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup honors.
The plan is to enjoy great success with Chelsea, but Joao confirmed that the option to go to Turin remains. Joao Santos said he hasn’t talked to Juventus, but Joao is aware of their interest in Jorginho. If the blues fail to renew their contract, then they will listen to all teams involved.
