La Liga giants Barcelona are reportedly monitoring Jorginho's situation at Chelsea, whose contract expires in the summer.
Jorginho never doubted he would be able to succeed at Chelsea. But the Brazilian-blooded player then succeeded in silencing those who doubted him.
Jorginho also became a mainstay of Chelsea's midfield. Even after Maurizio Sarri no longer handles the Blues.
Jorginho has so far helped Chelsea win four titles. One of them is the 2020/2021 Champions League trophy.
Jorginho's Future
Right now, there is intense competition in Chelsea's midfield. There are a number of players who are ready to compete for a place in the Blues midfield.
Call it N'Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, and Conor Gallagher. There is also a new midfielder, Carney Chukwuemeka.
However, Jorginho is still the mainstay of Chelsea's midfield. However, the Italian's future at Stamford Bridge is unclear.
Because he has one year left on his contract at Chelsea. There is a chance he can withdraw for free from the London club.
Barcelona Monitor Jorginho
Jorginho's situation at Chelsea has reportedly caught Barcelona's attention. This news is claimed by The Sun.
The Blaugrana are said to be very interested in being able to bring in Jorginho. Because they are now looking for a replacement for Sergio Busquets.
Busquets is now 35 years old. He will also be a free agent at the end of the season.
Therefore, Xavi is said to have started looking for a suitable replacement for Busquets. Besides that, there is still Frenkie de Jong.
But De Jong's future is also unclear. Because he is very interested in Manchester United and Barcelona are also ready to release this Dutch player.
Want to go to Italy
However, there might be a slight obstacle for Barcelona if they want to bring Jorginho. Because the 30-year-old player wants to return to Italy.
He already has fans there. Previously, his agent, Joao Santos, said that there were already five clubs willing to accommodate his clients.
"Playing in Serie A is a dream for him [Jorginho] and his heart is still there," he told Tuttomercatoweb via Football Italia.
"In the current situation, he can play for four or five clubs: Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma or Napoli," said the agent.
