Juventus are set to offer midfielder Adrien Rabiot in an attempt to land Chelsea metronome Jorginho in the summer, according to reports. The Italian has been heavily linked with a return to the Serie A with the Bianconeri.
The 30-year-old is out-of-contract at Stamford Bridge in 2023, leaving the Blues with a decision to make over his deal in the coming months to avoid losing him on a free transfer. That decision isn’t made easier by the fact that the club cannot currently extend deals under their sporting licence, as a result of sanctions placed on owner Roman Abramovich.
Speaking to Calciomercato, Jorginho’s agent, Joao Santos, revealed he was aware of interest from Juventus. He said: “I haven't talked to Juve, but I know of their interest in Jorginho. We have a contract with Chelsea until 2023 and it is a particular moment for the club, where there are no negotiations, also because the market is blocked both in entry and in exit. If the situation unfolds, the priority will be to deal with the renewal. Should Chelsea fail to renew their contract, then we will listen to all the teams involved."
