Agent admits Juventus wanted Chelsea midfielder Jorginho

The agent of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho admits Juventus have tried to sign him.

Jorginho is among the favourites to win the Ballon d'Or this year thanks to his trophy haul at both club and international level.

“In the past, when Sarri was the coach, there was a possibility that Jorginho would come to Juventus," agent Joao Santos told Radio Bianconera.

“The Juventus director made an approach, it was a possibility. I think Jorginho has a good chance of winning the Ballon d'Or, because we usually think of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but nobody has won as much as Jorginho this year.

“He has a contract with Chelsea until 2023. Obviously it would be a dream for him to return to Italy, hopefully after winning the World Cup.

“We'll have to see what the market looks like in a couple of years and what the other situations are."
