Juventus are looking to step up their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho with the aim of finding a replacement for the wantaway star Adrien Rabiot.
Rabiot is closing in on signing for Manchester United in this summer’s transfer window and his departure is likely to convince Juventus to scout the market for a fresh face to bolster their midfield ranks.

PA’s Nick Purewal has claimed that Jorginho are hoping to persuade the Italy international Jorginho on returning to the Serie A despite the player’s recent remarks on his readiness to stay put at Stamford Bridge.
Jorginho is into the final year of his current terms in west London and there has been speculation doing the rounds that the Euros-winning maestro is mulling over moving back to his homeland with Juventus and Napoli monitering his situation.
Thomas Tuchel has voiced concern over the uncertainty that surrounds Jorginho’s future at the club and the Chelsea head coach boss is expected to show reluctance on parting ways with his first-team star in the final weeks of the summer window.
