Chelsea star Jorginho has claimed he would sell himself over Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric when asked a question over the three midfielders. It comes amid uncertainty over the Italian's future at Stamford Bridge, with his contract at the club coming to an end in the summer.
Jorginho has been a key player for the Blues since joining in 2018 from Napoli for a fee of around £50million. The 31-year-old took time to settle into his role as a metronome in the middle of the park, but impressed most when helping guide the side to a Champions League victory in 2021, as well as securing third place in the Ballon d'Or.
When asked about his future by Sky Italia, he responded: "It’s normal to speak about it…," before laughing and responding: "You said that was the last question… so, ciao ciao."

Jorginho isn't the only player in west London with an uncertain future though as N'Golo Kante is also nearing the end of his contract, leaving the Blues potentially short in the midfield. Should the pair stay, they would be in their early 30's, meaning attention would likely shift to younger talent anyway.
The likes of Declan Rice and Enzo Fernandez have been linked with a switch for that role, along with Bellingham, who appears highly sought after following an impressive World Cup campaign. The 19-year-old has displayed plenty of quality as well as leadership skills that could make him the perfect player for the future of most elite sides, with a reported price tag of £128million.
Amid links with a move for Bellingham, Jorginho was asked a question along the lines of 'start one, bench one and sell one' from a group of three players. Those three were himself, Bellingham and Modric, to which he told Sky Italia: "Sell me! Modric starts, Bellingham on the bench."
