Chelsea star Jorginho’s agent has opened the door for the player to return to Italy, days after admitting his client’s “priority will be a renewal” at the west London club.

The midfielder’s current deal runs down in 2023 and he’s been linked to Juventus endlessly.

Roman Abramovich has announced his decision to sell the Blues and after facing sanctions from the UK government, the club is in the process of finding a new owner.

Taking the delicate situation at Stamford Bridge into account, Gazzetta dello Sport explain the Serie A side must wait to ‘find out about the developments’ in the negotiations for Thomas Tuchel’s star.

It’s claimed the Old Lady must find an agreement with the Champions League winners to ‘finalise the agreement already made with the player and his entourage’. GdS state a four-year deal that includes an annual salary of €6.5m is under consideration for the player.

Over at Tutto Juve, they say the Brazil-born Italy international is the ‘most popular’ target for Juve to strengthen their midfield.

In order to get Jorginho, Massimiliano Allegri’s side ‘will propose Adrien Rabiot to Chelsea’.

If Chelsea were not to accept Rabiot, Juve will sell the Frenchman for around €10-12m and use those funds to help sign Jorginho in the summer.
