Tension at Stamford Bridge as Juventus eye stunning move for top Chelsea star

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Italy international Jorginho could be on his way out of Premier League giants Chelsea in the summer as Serie A side Juventus are interested in the signing of the attacking midfielder.

Since joining the Stamford Bridge landlords from Napoli in 2018, Jorginho has been an important member of Chelsea squad playing significant role in helping the Blues to win the Champions League last term.

His impressive performances last year also helped him to finish third on the Ballon d'Or list which remains an incredible record for the Italian.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is planning to bolster his squad at the end of the season and he is eyeing a move for Jorginho.

The midfielder's contract expires in 2023 and Juventus are looking to take advantage of that situation.
