Agent: 'Jorginho staying at Chelsea this summer'

Jorginho's agent has insisted that his client will not be leaving Chelsea this summer.

The midfielder continues to be linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, and his agent Jorge Santos has previously said that the Italy international would consider a return to Napoli in the upcoming market.

However, when questioned on a potential move this summer, Jorginho's representative said that the 29-year-old would "100%" be staying at the capital club heading into the 2021-22 campaign.

"He has a two-year contract with Chelsea. He is thinking about playing in the European Championship and then the World Cup in Qatar. He will remain at Chelsea, 100%," Santos told Tuttomercatoweb.

Jorginho has been an important player for the Blues during the 2020-21 campaign, scoring seven times and providing one assist in 28 appearances in all competitions.

The Italian had emerged as a doubt for Saturday's clash with West Bromwich Albion due to a knee problem, but he has now been passed fit by Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
