Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Jorginho from Chelsea in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Calciomercato, via Sport Witness, the 30-year-old is attracting the Serie A giants, but there are some reservations over a possible move.
Jorginho, who has just over 12 months remaining on his current contract with the Blues, has been linked with a return to Italy for some time now. Juventus have always been one of the numerous clubs credited with an interest in the Brazil-born Italian international.
The Old Lady are again said to be 'thinking' about Jorginho, who is now 30-years-old, and a possible move at the end of the season. However, Juve have a rule that they do not purchase players who are in their 30s, and club CEO Maurizio Arrivabene 'does not allow for deviations from the rule'.

Arrivabene thinks a buying player in their 30s is a massive risk because of the lack of resale value if Juve were to offload him. This therefore means that Juventus would carry out a deal for the Chelsea midfielder should he be made available for 'almost zero' in the summer.
One man who has been very vocal about Jorginho's future is the midfielder's agent, Joao Santos, who recently said the Chelsea star's 'heart is there' in Italy. He said, via Sport Witness: "For him, playing in Serie A is a dream. His heart is there. Today he can play in four or five teams: Milan, Inter, Juve, Roma or Napoli."
Jorginho, meanwhile, admitted that England now feels like "home" to him when speaking to the Independent almost 12 months ago. The Italian said: "When I came here, everything was different.
"But I felt welcome straight away. It feels great after three years, and I know everyone here appreciates what I try to do for the club and for the people. So it feels like home now in England."
Of course, things may have changed - as they so often do in football - over the last year, but Jorginho's performances on the pitch suggest otherwise. The Italian has already made 38 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this season, with a couple of months still remaining.
