Preparing to expire his contract with Chelsea at the end of this season, Jorginho is being sought after by many “big guys” across Europe like Barcelona or AC Milan.
Jorginho will leave Chelsea on a free transfer next summer if a new contract between the two sides is not signed.
According to the Spanish daily Sport, both Barcelona and AC Milan are closely monitoring the transfer of the Italian midfielder.
The two teams have sent people to contact Jorginho’s representatives, hoping to convince him to join on a free basis at the end of this season.
Barca target Jorginho to replace Sergio Busquets, who will leave the Nou Camp in the summer of 2023 when his contract expires.
Xavi is very close to Jorginho because the 30-year-old possesses technical qualities, and the ability to hold the rhythm well in the midfield.
The current problem of the Catalan team is financial. If they can’t liquidate the excess, they can hardly recruit Jorginho in the context of a bloated salary fund.
The foggy media previously revealed that Jorginho had rejected an offer to sign an extension with Chelsea because he wanted a new salary of approximately £150,000 a week after tax.
AC Milan is ready to jump into the race, with an attractive offer for Jorginho. Previously, the Brazilian-born player had many years of playing football in Italy in the Napoli shirt.
