Jorginho agent insists Chelsea extension more likely than Juventus switch

Jorginho's agent has quashed rumours his client will join Juventus this summer.

Reports have suggested the Chelsea midfielder wants to link-up with former boss Maurizio Sarri in Turin.

But Joao Santos insists there is no truth in the speculation, adding that a contract extension with the Blues is more likely.

"I read that, but I never had contact with them," agent Joao Santos told Calciomercato.

"Neither Sarri, nor [Juve's chief football officer] Fabio Paratici called me to have information on Jorginho.

"As of today, I know absolutely nothing about this situation. The lad is very happy in London, where he is proving his worth and still has three years left on his contract.

"In fact, in July there's the possibility we can start talks to add a fourth and extend his contract with Chelsea.

"I don't know what Juve's transfer strategy is, but these are our plans for the future."
