It will be announced ahead of the Champions League draw tomorrow.
This could boost Jorginho’s hopes to win the Ballon d’Or at the end of the year, given that he was the only player to win the most important trophies at a continental level.
The 29-year-old joined Chelsea in a €57m move from Napoli in 2018.
His contract expires in June 2023, but the Blues will soon begin talks to extend his stay at Stamford Bridge.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Jorginho is one of the players on the Blues’ list along with Antonio Rüdiger, Andreas Christensen, N’Golo Kanté.
Chelsea have meetings already scheduled in the next weeks/months to discuss many contract extensions. Antonio Rüdiger, Andreas Christensen, N’Golo Kanté and Jorginho are in the list. 🔵 #CFC
