Joao Santos, the manager of Chelsea star Jorginho, has claimed that they have only spoken to Chelsea about a new deal despite being linked with a move to Barcelona.
Jorginho is out of contract at Stamford Bridge once this season is over and can negotiate with foreign teams in January if he wishes to leave the club as a free agent.
Barcelona director of football Mateu Alemany has made it clear that the Catalan club will be looking for opportunities next summer and players whose contracts are running out are a priority.
Jorginho fits that profile and Tuttomercato have revealed that his agent, Joao Santos, has already met with the LaLiga giants, SPORT reports.

“I have never met Mateu Alemany. Our priority is the renewal with Chelsea. The only club I have spoken with in recent weeks is Chelsea,” Santos told Relevo.
Jorginho has been at Chelsea since 2018 and has played 204 times for the London club.
The 30-year-old appears to want to stay at Stamford Bridge for longer, but Barcelona are ready to attack if the midfielder opts not to sign a new contract with the Blues.
