Jorginho’s Agent Predicts Sarri Reunion At New Club
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho could reunite with former boss Maurizio Sarri at his new club, according to the player’s agent Joao Santos.
Jorginho followed Sarri from Napoli to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2018 for an initial £50m when the latter was appointed Chelsea manager.
Sarri’s spell in West London lasted for one season before the former Empoli boss was poached by Juventus for their 2019/2020 campaign.
Sarri’s departure to the Italian champions led to rumors that Jorginho could join him at the Allianz Stadium but a potential move failed to materialize and collapsed completely when the 61-year-old was sacked at the end of the season.
Jorginho has remained at Chelsea since Sarri’s departure and is now the club’s vice-captain under Frank Lampard.
The 28-year-old has made 11 appearances and scored three goals this season but Santos believes the Italian international could link up with Sarri once again when he makes his next move.
"He's very happy with Frank Lampard and Chelsea can do even better than last season," Santos told Calciomercato.
"Almost all the Italy players are in Serie A, as it's an important league, but his journey took him to London. If Maurizio Sarri had remained, perhaps he'd have joined Juventus.
"Jorginho has a personal and professional bond with the coach that is very strong. We're waiting to see where Sarri goes, and if it's a big club in Italy, Jorginho could follow him."
