Jorginho’s agent Joao Santos insists his client’s priority is to extend with Chelsea despite rumours linking the Italy international with Milan and Barcelona.

The former Napoli and Hellas Verona midfielder sees his contract expire in June 2023 and according to reports in the UK, he has recently rejected a contract extension offer from the Blues.

However, his agent Joao Santos insists Jorginho’s priority is to extend with the Premier League giants.

“It is not true that I’ve met [Barcelona director] Mateu Alemany,” he told Relevo in Spain.

“Our priority is to extend with Barcelona; that’s the only club I’ve talked to in the last few weeks, Jorginho’s future is at Chelsea.”

Milan and Barcelona are said to be interested in the Italy international, who could sign a pre-contract agreement with any other club if he fails to pen a new deal with the Blues by the end of the year.

Jorginho joined Chelsea from Napoli in a €63m deal in 2018, following his coach Maurizio Sarri.

He has scored 29 goals in 204 appearances with Chelsea, winning, among other trophies, one Europa League and one Champions League.
