Chelsea face Jorginho contract issue that only Todd Boehly can solve with Kalidou Koulibaly

There are a number of reasons why Jorginho deserves a new contract with Chelsea. Just to name a couple, his ability to control the midfield in possession is unrivalled. He is a passing genius and quite frankly, he suits Thomas Tuchel's system perfectly. Putting all the technicalities aside, his bromance with new signing Kalidou Koulibaly is just the sweetest thing ever. The pair developed a friendship during their time at former club Napoli. When Jorginho left in 2018, an innocent video of the pair saying goodbye to each other surfaced. Now they are reunited and it could make for a nice dynamic among the squad.

Bromances often go underrated in the football world - however, it is a healthy ingredient for a strong team ethic. Jorginho has become somewhat of a popular figure amongst the Chelsea fan base, and it looks to be the case in the dressing room. With one year left on his contract, why not give him an extension?

Thomas Tuchel has been working on a squad rebuild as an integral decision maker in Todd Boehly's transfer approvals. As much as the rebuild is beginning to come together, it is imperative that the Blues address contracts that run out next year including Jorginho's and N'golo Kante's.
