Jorginho’s heart remains in Italy and the star is dreaming about a return to Serie A this summer, according to his agent.
The 30-year-old struggled to adapt to the rigours of Premier League football after moving to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2018 along with his former Napoli manager .
Jorginho struggled to win over Sarri’s replacement, , and was highly critical of the club legend following his sacking last January.
The appointment of has reinvigorated the midfielder’s career, however, and he emerged as a key component of the Chelsea team which won last season’s Champions League, before he played a pivotal role in Italy’s Euro 2020 success.
Despite his importance to Tuchel, it appears increasingly likely that Jorginho will return to Italy this summer with a host of Serie A’s top clubs interested in signing him.
‘Playing in Serie A is a dream for him and his heart remains here,’ agent Joao Santos told Tuttomercatoweb.
‘As things stand today, he could play for four or five clubs: Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma or Napoli.
‘There are many clubs interested in him. In the past I spoke to PSG, Barcelona and also Milan’s Ricky Massara. I don’t know if the Rossoneri are still interested, though.
‘The fact remains, we can’t do anything now because Chelsea are not allowed to sell, buy or renew contracts.
‘Jorginho has a contract until June 2023, after the World Cup we’ll see about working on a renewal.’
Chelsea remain in a state of flux following the UK Government’s decision to seize Roman Abramovich’s assets amid his ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
As such, Chelsea are currently unable to negotiate new contracts with players approaching the end of their deals.
