Barcelona have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Jorginho and N’Golo Kante from Chelsea in 2023.
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Jorginho and N’Golo Kante will be free agents at the end of this season and are looking to sort out their long-term futures. Barcelona have been offered the chance to sign the Chelsea duo, and it remains to be seen whether the Catalan giants decide to make their move.
Both Jorginho and Kante have been exceptional players for Chelsea since joining the club. And the Blues will not want to lose them as free agents at the end of the season. Therefore, if the Premier League bigwigs get a chance to sell them in January for a reasonable price, they might grab the opportunity with both hands.
However, losing two players midway through the season will be a blow for Graham Potter, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can bring in quality replacements for them in January.
Jorginho has been linked with the move to Barcelona for a while now. And there were rumours that the Chelsea vice-captain has already informed the Catalan club that he will wait for their transfer proposal before making a definite decision on his future.
The Italian international could be offered a new deal at Stamford Bridge, and it remains to be seen whether he is keen on signing it. Jorginho has already proved his quality in the Premier League and might be keen on a new adventure now.
The opportunity to join a club like Barcelona is always an attractive proposition for top players. And the Blaugrana would do well to sign two players like Jorginho and Kante for a bargain.
Meanwhile, Kante has been linked with a return to France in recent months, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly keen on securing his services. The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is arguably one of the best defensive midfielders of his generation. But his career has been plagued with injuries over the past year.
It will be interesting to see if Kante can get over his niggling injury issues and recapture his peak form soon. Barcelona are looking to find an alternative for Sergio Busquets, and Chelsea duo Jorginho and Kante could prove to be quality short-term acquisitions.
