Transfer News: Jorginho fuels Chelsea exit talks insisting he misses Naples

According to transfer news from Daily Mail, Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has put his future in doubt claiming he misses Naples. The Italian also criticized the weather in London for being too cold.

Reunion with Maurizio Sarri could be on the cards as both parties could return to where they gained prominence. 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.

Now Jorginho has fuelled speculation with his statements.

‘There are no words to describe how much I miss Naples. Who wouldn’t miss Naples? It’s so cold in London, they don’t even know what the sun is.’

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.
