Juventus are ready to offer Merih Demiral in a swap deal for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho who has long been linked with a move to the Serie A giants, according to Calciomercatoweb.
Chelsea are on the lookout for a new central defender this summer with Thomas Tuchel losing both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona respectively.
The 24-year-old Turkish international Demiral has failed to impress at Juventus since his move to the Italians in the 2019 summer window as he was shipped out on loan to Atalanta for the 2021-22 campaign.
With Juventus keen to offload him from their accounting books, Massimilano Allegri is now hopeful that Chelsea, who are in a dire need of defensive reinforcements ahead of the next season’s start, mull over taking Demiral in a swap for Jorginho.
The long-term future of the Euros-winning maestro in the Blues shirt has been subject to intense speculation since the turn of the year with Jorginho’s agent claiming time and again that his client remains determined on a return to Italy’s top flight.
