Juventus have been chasing Jorginho’s signature since he played for Napoli in Serie A, and the midfielder is now close to ending his current contract with them.
He can talk to foreign clubs in January and walk away from the Blues at the end of the season unless he signs a new contract.
Juve had hoped he wouldn’t extend his terms and leave London, but they will miss out on adding him to their team.
A report on Calciomercato reveals that the midfielder has told his entourage to only negotiate with the Blues to remain in London and not to talk to another club.
His priority is to remain in England, and he will only consider leaving if he does not get a new contract with Chelsea.
Juve FC says
Jorginho has been one of the best midfielders for a long time, and the Italian will adapt to our style of play.
His previous Serie A experience means he will have no problem settling in at the club and can become a key player for us as soon as he joins.
