Chelsea are willing to let an experienced midfielder leave this summer.
Chelsea is apparently planning to let one of their key players leave this summer.
Chelsea Football Club will undergo some squad rebuilding this summer as the club's new owners take over the reins. Thomas Tuchel is expected to have full support in the transfer market this summer, and he will be free to do anything he wants to get Chelsea back in contention for the Premier League title.
There are a number of current Chelsea players who have doubts about their futures, and two vital and experienced midfielders – N'Golo Kante and Jorginho - are undoubtedly among them.
According to 90min today, Chelsea is willing to let the latter leave this summer.
According to reports, the Blues will allow Jorginho to return to Italy this summer as part of a squad shake-up.
Chelsea are willing to let Jorginho return to Italy this summer, according to 90min.
Since joining Chelsea from Napoli in 2018, the Brazilian-born Italian has been a key contributor, but Thomas Tuchel is planning substantial personnel changes.
Jorginho and long-term midfield partner N'Golo Kante are both out of contract in 2023, and neither has yet entered into contract negotiations with Chelsea.
Jorginho, 30, is said to be attracting interest from Spain, but it is believed that he wants to return to Serie A, where there is a lot of interest.
Juventus are renowned admirers, and former Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri, who managed Jorginho at Napoli before signing him for Chelsea, would welcome a reunion with his former club. The situation is also being kept in the loop for Jose Mourinho's Roma, who won the inaugural Europa Conference League last season.
Clubs are also interested in Kante, but Chelsea sources believe Jorginho is the most likely to leave this summer.
Tuchel would be able to reconstruct his midfield after releasing Jorginho, which is expected to entail the introduction of Conor Gallagher.
Last season, the 22-year-old had a fantastic loan spell at Crystal Palace, where he flourished under Patrick Vieira's direction, earning him a call-up to Gareth Southgate's senior England group.
Gallagher is one of a slew of Chelsea loanees who will return to Stamford Bridge this summer, and 90min understands that he will meet with Tuchel and make it plain that he wants to compete for a starting spot at Chelsea.
Aside from Gallagher, the Blues could promote a few other young players to Tuchel's squad, including Levi Colwill, who impressed on loan at Championship play-off finalists Huddersfield Town.
