Italian midfielder Jorginho could be forced to leave Chelsea.
The 30-year old is out of contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2023, and his preference is to remain in West London.
But due to the current government sanctions against the club, not only are Chelsea operating under an effective transfer embargo, and are not allowed to buy or sell players, but they are also not permitted to extend the deals of any members of their existing squad.
And that means, unless there is a quick sale and the ownership structure is resolved as a matter of priority, there is a danger they could lose some of their biggest stars.
Jorginho has been linked with a return to Italy on numerous occasions and Juventus have long coveted the services of one player who has become one of the best in Europe in his position since hi his arrival from Napoli in 2018.
