The Blaugranas are closely monitoring the situation of a Chelsea player!

With the possible departure of Sergio Busquets next summer, Barca are already looking for his successor. The Catalan club had the Real Sociedad midfielder as a priority Martin Zubimendi (23), but the Spaniard could extend his adventure with the Basque club. That’s why Barcelona leaders continue to explore other alternatives, and one name has come up insistently in recent days. Jorginho, out of contract with Chelsea in June 2023, could join Catalonia freely next summer. According to information from Italian journalist Giacomo Iacobellis, the Blues midfielder’s agent was in Barcelona last week to discuss a possible transfer of his player with Barça leaders. The Catalans have expressed their real interest in Jorginho, who is not against coming to Spain. If the Italian signs next summer, he will occupy the position of sentry in front of the defense, in order to replace Sergio Busquets. Club director Mateu Alemany has also recently affirmed that Barça will continue to recruit free players in the coming seasons. The option of seeing Jorginho land in Catalonia is therefore credible.

There was a meeting between Barça and Jorginho’s agent. The club is very attentive to his situation. Barça like Jorginho very much and they are seriously thinking about signing him. Jorginho could sign for Barcelona next summer.

Beyond the Brazilian international, Sports world assures that Barca are also following N’Golo Kanté closely. Also out of contract at the end of the season, the French midfielder should not be extended by Chelsea. The latter, however, would like to stay in England.
