The midfielder will wait to hear Bar\u00e7a’s offer before signing elsewhere<\/p>\n
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is one of the most wanted players on the market because the 30-year-old is available on a free next summer when his contract at Stamford Bridge expires.<\/p>\n
Barcelona’s director of football Mateu Alemany has made it clear: the Catalan club will look for opportunities and the players whose contracts are expiring are a priority. Jorginho fits that profile and Tuttomercato have revealed that his agent, Joao Santos, met with Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>\n
In said meeting, Bar\u00e7a have managed to get the player to commit to not making any decision until he has received a concrete proposal from the LaLiga side.<\/p>\n
The player’s agent was also clear: Jorginho wants things clear by January. He is a free agent in June but want things tied down long before then. He is waiting for an offer from Chelsea but he also has a lot of suitors elsewhere, including in Italy, who he represents at international level, with Juventus strongly linked<\/p>\n
Bar\u00e7a’s offer will depend on various factors. The first is what happens with Frenkie de Jong. Then what happens with Bernardo Silva, a player Xavi wants. Another factor is what Sergio Busquets decides to do with his future. He also out of contract next summer and is currently expected to leave Camp Nou<\/p>\n
Therefore, Bar\u00e7a are working on a long-term Busquets replacement beyond this season. Jorginho is more of an interior but can adapt to other midfield roles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
