Barcelona will reportedly have to fend off stiff competition from PSG and Juventus to sign Chelsea midfielder Jorginho.
According to a report by Calciomercato, Jorginho will be a hot property in the market if he becomes a free agent next summer. Barcelona will face stiff competition for the Chelsea midfielder, with PSG and Juventus also keen on signing him in a Bosman move.
Jorginho has been a dependable performer for Chelsea since arriving from Napoli in July 2018. The Italian international had endured an underwhelming debut season at Stamford Bridge. But he has not looked back since a memorable 2019/20 campaign, becoming the vice-captain for the Blues.
The 30-year-old has made over 200 appearances thus far for Chelsea, chipping in with 29 goals and nine assists. But the west Londoners are in a spot of bother over Jorginho’s long-term future as he has entered the final year of his contract. Such a situation has captured the attention of Barcelona, PSG, and Juventus.
Recent reports claimed that Barcelona and Jorginho have been in contact over a possible Bosman move. But the Chelsea midfielder’s agent rubbished claims of the player pushing for a transfer. As for the interest, with Sergio Busquets in the twilight of his career, Barcelona will need a holding midfielder. Jorginho is thus a viable target for the Blaugrana.
Meanwhile, PSG’s emergence in the equation is surprising, considering they invested heavily in midfielders in the summer. The French champions signed Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Carlos Soler, and Renato Sanches. So it is hard to see how Jorginho might fit at PSG.
As for Juventus, the Serie A giants want to sign a new midfielder amid the inconsistencies of several players. Adrien Rabiot and Weston McKennie have been sub-par, while Manuel Locatelli has been in and out of the side. So Jorginho is an appealing target for Juventus, with the Bianconeri pursuing him for a long time.
But signing Jorginho will not be straightforward, with his agent recently insisting that he wants to remain at Chelsea. So it will be interesting to see if Barcelona, PSG or Juventus can turn his head in the summer.
