Chelsea midfielder Jorginho could be the subject of a transfer battle in the summer, with both Juventus and Barcelona interested in signing the Italian international.
The midfielder followed Maurizio Sarri from Napoli to Chelsea, but it has been since his compatriot left Stamford Bridge, ironically, that he has played his best football.
However, he is now 30 years old, and, with just a year left on his contract at the end of the current campaign, Chelsea will have a decision to make about his future.
Juventus have been long-time admirers whilst the interest from Barcelona is more recent, and perhaps surprising given that they have agreed to sign Franck Kessie at the end of the season from AC Milan on a free transfer.
There have also been suggestions that PSG, who are in the market for a holding midfielder, could be ready to throw their hats in the wing as well.
