AC Milan and Barcelona are going head-to-head in the race to sign Jorginho on a free transfer from Chelsea, according to a report.
SPORT in Spain talk about ‘Operation Jorginho’ and state that Barcelona and Milan are currently the two best-positioned clubs in the race to sign Jorginho. The 30-year-old midfielder’s contract ends on June 30 and at the moment it is likely he will leave Stamford Bridge as a free agent.
The paper speaks of a ‘common denominator’ between the Blaugrana and the Rossoneri in that both clubs are keen on the former Napoli man because he would arrive on a free, something that would alleviate the budget for other purchases.
Milan are currently the team better placed to make the higher offer for two reasons: the Italian tax system and the Growth Decree scheme means less gross amount, while Barca are in need of raising money before spending more.
Barcelona would have to rely on the will of the player, who would be attracted by the idea of moving to the Camp Nou and getting to know LaLiga, because he has already played in Serie A.
Not the sort of player we need
Exactly the sort of player we need. We need depth in midfield and someone who can orchestrate the game in Bennacer’s absence.
Agreed. He’s fit right in with Juve’s shitty midfield.
One of the most overrated players on Earth. A tedious square passing merchant. He’s an upgrade on Pobega, but that’s as far as it goes. He shouldn’t start ahead of Tonali and Bennacer, but it’s nothing to worry about, he won’t join Milan.
UEFA player of the year 20/21 and 4th place Ballon d’Or….OK
Praying that he joins Barca 🙏
Pass.
Hard pass.
Milan needs a player with Bennacer’s characteristics both offensively and defensively.
Pioli can outpace Jorginho.
Good luck to him at Barca
Barca can have him maybe they’ll give Milan Kessie back lol
