Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has been linked with Roma should Maurizio Sarri take over, but the Italy international’s agent confirms he will stay in London.
The Blues midfielder played the full 90 minutes of a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid last night and his agent Jorge Santos spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss to reassure the fans that he will stay at Stamford Bridge.
With Roma linked to former Napoli and Chelsea coach Sarri, the rumours of a possible move for Jorginho have emerged in Italian media.
“Jorginho will stay at Chelsea,” Jorge Santos told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli. “He still has a two-year contract with the English club and is only focused on finishing the season in the best possible way.”
The Brazilian-born Azzurri star will then shift his attention to the European Championship this summer and after his current deal with Chelsea expires, he could ‘return to Serie A’.
“His dream is to win it with [CT Roberto] Mancini’s Italy,” the agent continued. “When he ends his adventure at Chelsea, he would love to return to Serie A.”
“A lot of international sites that stage major events will invest huge money to showcase their city as a point of tourism. It’s important for them to do that.
“You hope at the end of July, early August, that corridor to the Middle East will be open.
“But it’s not a necessity for the fight to take place.”
