Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss, via Sports Mole (h/t football.london), Jorge Santos, the agent of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, stated that he cannot rule out a transfer to Napoli for the Italian.
Jorginho joined the Blues in the summer of 2018. He was brought to Stamford Bridge by then Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.
Before their move to Stamford Bridge, both Jorginho and Sarri were at Napoli. The Italian manager left the Blues at the end of that season but the midfielder stayed.
His future was in doubt last summer, with Juventus keen on signing the 29-year-old. However, no move materialized and the Italian international remained at the Bridge to be used as a squad player by Frank Lampard.
Since the appointment of Thomas Tuchel last month, the former Hellas Verona midfielder has found a new lease of life at the club. He has played the full 90 minutes in each of the last 4 league games.
However, his agent says that a return to Napoli remains a possibility, especially if Sarri takes the helm at the Serie A side.
“If Sarri returns to Napoli, he would make an attempt to bring Jorginho back. He is perfect for his football. I can’t rule it out.”
Jorginho’s contract expires in 2023. However, Santos believes that a right project could see the midfielder leave Stamford Bridge.
“He has two years left on his contract and is a regular starter for Italy. However, with a good project, he would be open to coming back.”
It is evident that Tuchel values Jorginho as he has handed him four consecutive league starts for the first time this season. A move away from Chelsea for Jorginho could seriously impact the club’s depth in midfield.
