Juventus wants Jorginho, but they will not pay over the odds to add the Italian midfielder to their team.
The Brazil-born Italy international has been on the radar of the Bianconeri for much of this season as some of their current midfielders perform badly.
Jorginho remains Chelsea’s midfield lynchpin, and he is one reason they have continued to impress in different competitions for some time now.
He has a deal with them until 2023, but they are under a ban from renewing the contracts of their current stars now and this is the time Juve can speak to him and convince him to ignore a new agreement offer from the Blues.
However, Sportmediaset, as reported by Tuttojuve, claims Juve has no intention of paying too much money for his signature.
The report claims the Bianconeri can only pay as much as 10 million euros to sign him, or they will add a player like Adrien Rabiot in their offer for the signature of the ex-Napoli man.
Juve FC Says
Jorginho did well when he was in Serie A and nearly led Napoli to beat us for a league title.
His continued success in England proves he is a quality player who can do a job in different competitions.
If we add him to our squad, the 30-year-old will surely strengthen it by the next campaign.
So… we can get rid of Rabiot, AND add Jorginho!?
That’s a nice win-win move!
It’s become impossible to have any sense of what Juve can or will spend. They cry poverty and spent 80M Euro on VL. Then they try to nickle and dime Cuadrado on an extension. The guy has been their most consistent performer for years not to mention his versatility. They dawdle so much in signing players during transfer windows that the team get little or no time to train together – especially since the international breaks see so many of them play internationally. If Juve wants to be respected as a Big they need to stop acting like peasants. If they are short on money its because of the millions misspent on the likes of Ramsey, Arthur, Rabiot and even Bern. “Free” singings turn out to be anything but free when you can’t unload those who don’t pan out because they have inflated salaries.
