Jorginho’s agent admits the Chelsea midfielder could leave Stamford Bridge this summer but only if the club indicated that they would be prepared to sell.

The 28-year-old has featured regularly for Frank Lampard’s side this season with 32 appearances in all competitions.

The Italy international has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus, where he would be reunited with Maurizio Sarri for the third time in his career.

Jorginho’s representative admits the midfielder would be open to joining Juventus but a deal would hinge Chelsea’s desire to sell.

‘Anything can happen in the transfer market. I said ‘why not?’ to Juventus because Jorginho has a three-year contract with Chelsea, so the priority is clearly to remain there, but we could also evaluate leaving the club in July,’ Joao Santos told TuttoJuve.

‘In that case, if this were to happen, we’d be ready to consider the various proposals that will arrive from Italy, France and England.

‘Why shouldn’t it be possible to join Juventus? They are the most important club in Italy, the one that has won the most in recent years. We wouldn’t say no to the Bianconeri.

‘It’s natural, because Sarri was Jorginho’s coach at both Napoli and Chelsea.

‘The player was fundamental in his tactics over the last four years, knows the system inside out and that is why there are these rumours.

‘If Juventus, who already have a very strong squad, were to need him and Chelsea were ready to sell, we would certainly evaluate their proposal.

‘It’d then be up to the clubs to reach an agreement.

‘Nobody from Juve, not now or in the past, have contacted me to talk about Jorginho. The club would need to speak to Chelsea first, as talking to me won’t change the situation very much.’
