Chelsea 'unlikely to offer Jorginho new contract'

Chelsea are reportedly not planning to offer Jorginho a new contract, with the midfielder potentially being available for transfer during this summer's window.

The 30-year-old has again been a key player for the Blues during the 2021-22 campaign, making 40 appearances in all competitions, contributing nine goals and four assists in the process.

There is currently widespread speculation surrounding the Italy international's future, though, with a number of clubs believed to be keen to sign him in the upcoming market.

Jorginho's current deal with Thomas Tuchel's side is due to expire in June 2023, and according to 90min, Chelsea are unlikely to offer him a new contract.

The report claims that the midfielder could therefore be on his way out of the club this summer, with Lazio leading the race for his signature.

Juventus, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have also been credited with an interest in the Italian, who has contributed six goals and two assists in 24 Premier League appearances this term.

Since arriving from Napoli in 2018, the midfielder has registered 26 goals and eight assists in 181 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions.
