Chelsea are reportedly “in talks with Juventus over a £35m Jorginho transfer” but why would the Blues sell?
After a stuttering first season under Maurizio Sarri last season, in which the Italian star failed to impress on many of his outings in a Blues shirt, Jorginho has become an integral part of Frank Lampards’ season this year and has seemingly won the Blues fans round with his impressive performances. However, the Italy international has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus, where he would be reunited with Maurizio Sarri for the third time in his career, as the former Chelsea boss is keen to be reignited with the man that he had so much success at Napoli with
Reports suggested Juve would offer up Federico Bernardeschi once the window opens up in hopes of agreeing a player exchange deal, and Jorginho was reportedly open to moving to Italy, due to his relationship with Sarri,
But that move away has been played down by the player, Chelsea and the players agent over the past few weeks and all indications suggested that he would still be at Chelsea when next season starts. However, according to The National, Juve are in the midst of hashing out a deal with the Chelsea ace’s entourage and talks about a £35 million move back to Serie A has been talked about.
Jorginho may not have had the best of starts to life at Stamford Bridge when he arrived and many thought that he would not be good enough to play in the Premier League, but he has looked like a different player this season and is a top-class player.
Frank Lampard seems to be happy with him and Chelsea fans have grown to love him, so it will come as a massive shock to many fans to see that talks have reportedly been opened about a summer transfer.
However, this is just speculation and there is a long way to go before the window opens up, meaning that there will continue to be alot more turns and twists in the future of Jorginho at Chelsea. Jorginho is seemingly happy at Chelsea NOW, and the only way that he would leave is if the Blues decided that he is no longer needed, but considering Lampard is happy with the midfielder, that is not the case.
Why would they sell a player that has been such a big part of the side?
