Reports suggest that Chelsea are now offering clubs the chance to sign Jorginho this month.

According to GiveMeSport, the Blues are looking to Serie A for a potential home for the 31-year-old in an attempt to cash in on him.

Jorginho is currently set to leave the club at the end of the season as his contract with the club expires at the end of the current campaign.

There has so far been little indication that he will sign a new deal, despite remaining an important player since the changing of managers.

It has been widely reported that Graham Potter is still happy to utilise the Italian international despite being safe in the knowledge that he is likely to be entering his final few months in West London.

This is in perhaps down to the mounting injury issues the club are currently suffering. Denis Zakaria is the latest to be ruled out for a few weeks due to a quad issue.

His situation is now reportedly very different to fellow midfielder N’golo Kante, who is seen by those at the club as somewhat of a legend.

After previously being believed to be leaving at the end of the season too, there is more optimism in the camp now that they will come to an agreement to extend his already seven-year stay.

With none of that optimism with Jorginho, GiveMeSport have claimed that the Blues are looking for clubs, particularly from Italy, to make a move in the next two weeks.

Serie A has always been the reported preferred destination for the midfielder when his time at Chelsea comes to an end, with the style of football and tempo of the game certainly leaning into the strengths he possesses.
