TOP STORY: Jorginho to replace Busquets at Barcelona
Barcelona are eyeing a potential move for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Jorginho, 30, is recently reported to have rejected a contract extension at Stamford Bridge. And, as the Italy international nears the final six months of his contract, the Blaugrana could look to tempt him to Camp Nou.
Barca boss Xavi Hernandez is on the lookout for a future successor to take the place of Sergio Busquets, who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season. The Catalans had also targeted Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi, but talks stalled between the two LaLiga sides and he recently signed a new deal.
Barcelona will aim for Jorginho to agree a pre-contract ahead of the summer but will also consider a January transfer for a small fee if he fails to sign new terms with Chelsea before the year's end.
He first joined the Blues from Napoli in 2018 for an initial transfer fee of £50 million, and he has since gone on to make 135 appearances in the Premier League
