Transfer News: Jorginho gives an update on his Chelsea future amid exit links
According to transfer news from Football.london, Jorginho has assured that his immediate future lies with Chelsea amidst exit links. It was earlier reported that the player was unhappy with the cold weather in London.
Reunion with Maurizio Sarri could be on the cards as both parties could return to where they gained prominence. Sarri and Jorginho have an intertwined history.
The Italians duo a successful stint at Napoli for three years before leaving for Chelsea in 2018. As soon as Sarri was appointed, he demanded Jorginho’s signing and so he was signed.
While Jorginho is still at the club, Sarri left for Juventus in 2019. He is currently a free agent after leaving Juve last season. However, Napoli were in talks to bring back Sarri as a replacement for Genarro Gattuso. Napoli president Aurelio Laurentiis wants to bring in the former manager.
Jorginho spoke about how he missed Naples and that London was too cold. That somewhat put his future up in the air but his latest comments indicate that he is happy at the club.
“Dude, I’ll tell you the truth. At the moment, how am I going to think about the future two years from now, having what I still have to play this season. Then the Euro is coming.
So, honestly, there’s no way to think ahead. In fact, I’m very happy here. I’m really happy here. So I don’t think about anything else either. Now, at the moment, there’s no reason to think about what will happen in two years, for example.”

This does bode well given how important Jorginho has become under Thomas Tuchel. He dictates the play well from the middle and controls the game. With the player clearing the situation, the speculation could be put to rest for a while now.
