Jorginho's agent has said the midfielder is “100 per cent” staying at Chelsea and confirmed he is set to begin discussions with the club over a new contract in the coming months.

Despite becoming a key player under Thomas Tuchel since he was appointed at Stamford Bridge, Jorginho has been linked with a move back to Serie A.

There has been speculation in Italy that Maurizio Sarri could return to Napoli and that will consider a move for Jorginho, who he took to Chelsea in 2018.

But Jorginho's agent Joao Santos says the Italy international is going nowhere and has revealed he is set to open talks with Chelsea over a new contract.

Jorginho's current Chelsea deal runs until 2023 and Santos has dismissed any suggestion that his client could leave Stamford Bridge.

“He has a two-year contract with Chelsea,” said Santos in an interview with Tuttomercato. “He will remain at Chelsea, 100 per cent".

Asked if Jorginho will new renew his Chelsea contract, Santos said: "We will talk about it in a few months”.
