According to reports from Italy, there are still a few obstacles standing in the way of Juventus signing Jorginho from Chelsea.
The Old Lady has reportedly long admired the Italian, but before making any moves, they must first sell their own midfielder, according to Calcio Mercato Web.
Since his £50 million transfer to the club in 2018, Jorginho has undoubtedly caused controversy. However, his outstanding 2021 saw him place third in the Ballon d’Or vote after winning the Champions League and European Championships, highlighting his brilliance at his finest.
Juve has been a potential suitor for a number of years, but throughout his stay at the club he has frequently been linked with a move back to Italy.
The star of the Italian national team is still hoping to move back to his adopted country, according to Calcio Mercato Web, but the club’s relationship with Arthur is reportedly a roadblock to any potential trade.
In 2020, Arthur moved to Massimiliano Allegri’s team from Barcelona, but he hasn’t lived up to the hype and has since lost his place in the starting lineup.
The 25-year-old has had trouble finding a suitor, despite Chelsea briefly being linked with a move for him.
However, Arthur is proving to be difficult to move, especially with Chelsea out of the running.
If Arthur doesn’t go, any move for Jorginho may be delayed. Juventus is also trying to get Paul Pogba, so their midfield ranks could be crowded when the Frenchman comes.
Indeed, according to the most recent Italian rumors, any transfer for Jorginho may be delayed until 2023, with a move to Turin now being possible.
Jorginho’s skill set is so distinctive that the Blues would be crazy to let him go, even though he might not be the ideal midfielder to matchup against some teams.
While someone like N’golo Kante is wonderful, he definitely needs a figure like Jorginho behind him since the two midfielders compliment one another well. His ability to hold possession under pressure and set up counterattacks makes him one of the best in the world.
