Juventus wants Chelsea midfielder Jorginho

Chelsea ace Jorginho is a top target for his former manager Maurizio Sarri at Juventus as the Italian tactician wants a reunion with the midfielder.

The report in TuttoSport says Juventus is plotting a move for the midfielder this summer.

Sarri bought Jorginho when he was the manager of Chelsea in 2018 and he is interested in reuniting with the playmaker once again at Juventus, having managed the midfielder at Napoli and Chelsea during his stints with both clubs as a coach.

Chelsea paid £57million for the playmaker two seasons ago and would only listen to offers if the bid is above £45million a fee Juventus is not ready to pay.

Jorginho remains untouchable under Sarri and he was named “teacher’s pet” during the reign of the Italian manager at the Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has dropped Jorginho to the bench since the Premier League restart and is yet to clock up any appearances.
