Jorginho’s agent says Chelsea midfielder is being chased by two top European clubs over summer transfer
CHELSEA midfielder Jorginho is being chased by "two top European clubs" according to his agent.
Joao Santos says he has been contacted by both parties in the hope of concluding a summer transfer.
And Santos says that Juventus, strongly linked with a move for the midfielder and managed by former Blues boss Maurizio Sarri, is NOT one of them.
Jorginho had a tough start at Stamford Bridge following a £68million move from Napoli in the summer of 2018.
He was even targetted by sections of the crowd who believed that he was guaranteed a first-team spot under Sarri regardless of how well he played.
But things have actually improved since the Italian boss was given the boot, and Jorginho was enjoying a decent season before coronavirus halted things.
That has alerted a couple of clubs, who have contacted the 28-year-old's agent.

Speaking on , as reported by Goal, Santos said: “If you ask me if Sarri likes Jorginho, I’d say ‘yes’ due to their history.
“I can’t say anything about the transfer market as I’m not in touch with anyone right now.
“Jorginho still has three years left on his contract and is doing well at Chelsea, but if a big enough offer comes in then a deal could go through.
“In this sense, two top European clubs, not Italian ones, contacted me.”
