Chelsea midfielder open to Serie A transfer

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho could entertain a surprise return to Serie A during the next transfer window, Il Romanista claims.

The Italian has been with the Blues for the past three-and-a-half seasons, and remains an integral part of Thomas Tuchel's plans.

Despite his importance, it has been regularly speculated that he could return to Serie A in future, and there is now another story.

Napoli are thought to be interested in re-signing him, but it is now reported that Roma could enter the hunt for his services.

The Giallorossi are planning a big €100 million spending spree this summer, and could pursue at least one defensive midfielder.

Jorginho is content with the Blues, but could push for an exit, suppose the club opt to purchase a new holding midfielder.

The Blues are long-term admirers of West Ham United's Declan Rice and could lodge a record bid to sign him this summer.

The Hammers are likely to hold out for at least £100m for Rice, who was previously released by the Blues at just 14.
