But a move never materialised and Jorginho stayed at the club, But he is now going to sign a new deal having been returned to the starting XI, according Area Napoli.
The 28-year-old’s current deal has three years left to run, but the Blues are seeking to tie him down to a further two seasons after his impressive displays for the club at the beginning of the season.

If the reports are true and he is about to sign a new contract with the club, the it will be great for the man as he fully deserves it.
