‘Sell him. Sell him now” Let them take him’ Fans on twitter react as Serie A heavyweights Eye £35m deal for Chelsea star

Juventus have entered talks with Chelsea midfielder Jorginho’s agent about a possible switch to the Serie A side, according to The National. The UAE based newspaper claims Maurizio Sarri’s side would be keen on snapping him up for €40m (£35m).

The Italian international was signed for £50m from Napoli in 2018 but he will be 29 in December, and supporters on Twitter feel there are young players who could fill his shoes:

Certainly, the likes of Billy Gilmour and Ethan Ampadu could replace Jorginho, considering their undoubted talent, but manager Frank Lampard is likely to be more hesitant.

The Chelsea boss handed the Italian the vice-captaincy and he has praised the midfielder’s leadership skills. He will be reluctant to lose someone from the dressing room with such influence and experience.

Lampard has certainly done more than any other manager to bring through youngsters at the club, but he will know a balance will be needed in order to start challenging for trophies. Below are the reactions of Chelsea fans that want Jorginho out of the squad, do you agree to sell him?

@BKingsley: Sell him, Sell him now, He is good but we are not much in need of him.
@jonathanmupaal2: Sell him, we have Billy who’s an upgrade on him
@menubachike: Let them take him ?
@Ovee74: Jorginho is worth as surplus to the team, don’t sell now. Give him 1-2yrs more
