Jorginho’s agent reveals Jorginho’s first priority

Jorginho has already spent five years as a Chelsea player, and he has a year left in his contract with the club.

There have been talks about Jorginho returning to the Serie A, with Juventus believed to be keen on the Chelsea midfielder.

However, Jorginho’s agent Joao Santos has claimed that Jorginho’s first priority is to stay at Chelsea.

He said: “He still has a year of contract with the Blues, the renewal is the priority.

“At the moment, however, Chelsea cannot operate in the market due to the issues arising from Abramovich’s sale, so we will meet again with the club to discuss it.

“Jorginho has spent six or seven years of high-level football. He also plays in the Premier League, which is certainly a more important championship than the Italian one.

“Without forgetting that he’s also European champion and the year before he won the UCL. Juventus? Their executives didn’t call me, certainly because they know that at Chelsea nothing can be done without a license.

“Obviously a profile like Jorge’s would help many teams, even in Italy. First comes the Chelsea situation, because his priority is the renewal with the Londoners.”
