Agent opens the door for Chelsea star’s reunion with Sarri in Italy

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho reveals his interest to play under Pep Guardiola  .

Jorginho could leave Chelsea to return to Napoli

According to Daily Mail, Jorginho could reunite with former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri at Napoli. Reports in Italy have emerged that Napoli could look to bring back both the player and the manager to the club after the duo left in 2018 for Chelsea.

Sarri and Jorginho have an intertwined history. The Italians had a successful stint at Napoli for three years before leaving for Chelsea in 2018. As soon as Sarri was appointed, he demanded Jorginho’s signing and so he was signed.

While Jorginho is still at the club, Sarri left in 2019 to join Juventus. He is currently a free agent after leaving Juve last season. However, Napoli are in talks to bring back Sarri as a replacement for Genarro Gattuso. Napoli president Aurelio Laurentiis wants to bring in the former manager.

Jorginho’s agent has often spoken about a return to the club for his agent.

‘Sarri at Napoli with Jorginho is a wonderful idea. It’s possible on a football level, certainly. Naples is a city that Jorginho loves very much, which marked an important part of his career. Sarri is also an important coach for him, at which he expressed himself at the highest level.’

It remains to be seen what Chelsea make of the situation and Jorginho’s future. They do have Kante, Kovacic and the young Billy Gilmour at their disposal.

There are also the likes of Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek who are out on loan and performing well. Thomas Tuchel will have to evaluate his midfield options at the end of the season.
