Chelsea have been reassured that Jorginho is committed to the club amid reports that Juventus are interested in the midfielder. The Italian international has proven to be a key player under Thomas Tuchel this season, scoring nine goals in 47 appearances in all competitions.
But his contract at Stamford Bridge will enter its final year this summer, raising the possibility that he could depart the Blues. With their takeover saga rumbling on, Chelsea are currently unable to enter into contract negotiations with any of their players.
That has led to growing concerns that the midfielder could be poached, either this summer or next year, given the lack of security the Blues can offer currently. But Jorginho’s agent Joao Santos has now moved to play down suggestions that his client could leave for Juve.
“He still has one year on his contract with the Blues, the priority is renewal. At the moment, however, Chelsea cannot operate on the market for issues arising from the Abramovich sale, so we will meet with the club to discuss it,” Santos told 1 Station Radio.
