Jorginho becomes next Chelsea star linked with Juventus amid Blues exodus fears

Jorginho’s future at Chelsea has been thrown into doubt after his agent stated he would one day like to return to Italy. The midfield general has entrenched himself as one of Thomas Tuchel’s most trusted and influential players ever since he replaced Frank Lampard as manager.

The former Napoli midfielder played an instrumental role in Chelsea’s shock Champions League triumph last season, forming a rock-solid partnership with midfield sensation N’Golo Kante. However, Chelsea are currently embroiled in a huge period of uncertainty, amid Roman Abramovich’s recent sanctioning by the UK government.

Several Blues players, including club captain Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger, are all facing uncertain futures as the club tries to navigate its way through this difficult situation. And Jorginho’s exit cast further uncertainty onto Stamford Bridge, by stating Juventus could still be a potential destination for the 30-year-old.
