REPORT: Juventus star player could be on his way to Chelsea this summer

Miralem Pjanic looks certain to leave Juventus this summer after four seasons at the club and according to reports, he could be on his way to Chelsea.

Pjanic has made 167 appearances for the Old Lady, and has lifted six major trophies during his time in Turin but Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri is reportedly happy to let the midfielder leave this summer.

Sky Sports Italy claim Sarri is weighing up the idea of using Pjanic as a makeweight in a deal to land Jorginho from Chelsea.

Sarri worked with Jorginho at Napoli and Chelsea and he is keen to be reunited with the midfielder at Juventus.

Jorginho recently admitted that he almost left Chelsea in his first season following criticisms from Chelsea fans.

“Last year, fans were picking on me a lot because I’d arrived with another manager and, in my opinion, I ended up hearing some things that were honestly unfair,” he told FourFourTwo.

“But I’ve never challenged the views of the fans and other people who criticised me. Quite the opposite, actually – it gave me strength because inside I knew they were wrong.

“Deep in my mind, it was like this: ‘I’m going to prove they’re wrong and work quietly like I’ve always done, because it’s never been easy for me’.”
