Juventus could make a move for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho this summer, according to reports.

The Bianconeri are eyeing midfield reinforcements when the transfer market reopens for business.

The reigning Serie A champions have struggled in Andrea Pirlo’s first season in charge, and they look set to miss out on the title for the first time since 2011.

However, his contract at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer of 2023 and Chelsea may choose to cash in on him if he is not part of Thomas Tuchel’s long-term plans.

Meanwhile, N’Golo Kante says he rejected the chance to join PSG during Tuchel’s time at the Parc des Princes.

“I knew in the past there was some contact with Paris Saint-Germain when he was the manager, but it was not something I wanted,” he told Chelsea’s official website

“It did not happen because I was happy at Chelsea and I stayed here. I haven’t spoken to the manager about it!”
