Tuchel opens up and admits he wants Chelsea to sign up Italian

Thomas Tuchel has admitted that he would like Chelsea to hand Jorginho a new contract, amid speculation that Juventus are lining up a summer move

Jorginho is one of the best holding midfielders in the game and a player that everyone at the club can rely on – especially in those big games when the pace needs to be set by the Blues

But he is out of contract in the summer of 2023 and there has been some rumours in the media that Juventus will be ready to swoop in and offer him a move back to his homeland, a place that he has a desire to play again in the future

However, Tuchel wants to avoid a similar situation to that of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger who are looking increasingly more likely to leave at the end of this season for nothing, and wants the club to hand Kante a new deal when they can

He said: ‘Nobody wants that [contracts running out], absolutely. With important players, it’s a wish as a coach that we solve this in the summer any way.

‘That it’s clear where the journey is, what the decision is. Otherwise, we have the same talks about Antonio and Andreas, we just swap the names, we talk about it through winter.

‘Then comes January, the agents talk with clubs and the brother to the other — it would be nice if we can avoid it. But at the moment, it’s a bit difficult. Yes, this should be the target for all of us.’

Look, there will probably be some big players arriving in the summer as the new owners will want to put their stamp on the squad, but they need to make sure that they do not lose Jorginho

He does not offer much in terms of excitement or goals, but he is a man that can be very reliable for Thomas Tuchel. We like to see the best players in the Premier League – so when they are linked with moves away – it is not good
