Happy Blue 1,899 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 On Wednesday, Aurelio de Laurentiis confirmed what had mostly been a rumour up until then: Jorginho was on his way to Chelsea instead of Manchester City. Discussing the matter at a press conference, the Napoli owner said the Italy international preferred London to Manchester, and would be heading to Stamford Bridge, most likely alongside his former manager Maurizio Sarri. While many took that as gospel, Gazzetta dello Sport did not, and explain as much in their Thursday edition. The Italian newspaper do not believe that, having given his agreement to sign for Manchester City and play under Pep Guardiola two months ago, Jorginho would change his mind on something as whimsical as London over Manchester. They think the real reason why this has all happened has to do with Sarri, and the fact the midfielder is being used as a ‘tool’ to find an agreement over the manager’s fee. In fact, Gazzetta state Jorginho was ‘floored’ by this turn of events, with his own entourage convinced just 48 hours ago the midfielder would be heading to Manchester City. If this is true, Jorginho could be key in everything either going through or collapsing. Refusing to sign for Chelsea, as is his right, would really be a kick in the teeth for the Blues, and could make getting Sarri far more difficult.

Must be a blow Is he really any better than Gundogan? the player he would of been sat next to on the bench, he's not replacing Fernandinho right now and we have Delph too ...i feel more sorry for Jorginho if all this is true below, and will they sell Kante, they play the same postion Man City's Jorginho deal has collapsed and they are furious Manchester City's prime midfield target is heading for Chelsea despite the Blues having an agreement with Napoli Manchester City are furious with Napoli after their prime midfield target Jorginho joined Chelsea. The Blues believe that the Italian club bullied the player into a Stamford Bridge switch after they had shaken hands on a £44million deal a fortnight ago. They are also unhappy with the player’s agent Joao Santos, who had got as far as trying to organise a medical for the player in Manchester but has not stood up to Napoli’s tactics. They claim Jorginho had his heart set on joining Pep Guardiola ’s team and had agreed personal terms weeks ago. But then Chelsea lined up Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri as their new manager and everything changed. The London club put in a £53million deal - confirmed on Saturday - on the face of it for the player but also seen as including £7m compensation for losing Sarri. Napoli then contacted the player’s agent to say if he did not accept Chelsea’s terms he would be sitting in the stand for the remaining two years of his contract. The Blues now have a policy of refusing to pay beyond what they feel a player is worth - that is why they walked away from deals for Alexis Sanchez, Fred and Riyad Mahrez first time round.

Redcanuck 175 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 By all accounts a very good player, Chelsea look to have done well here. If they manage to keep hold of Kante they will have an imposing midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Batard 2,534 Posted July 14, 2018 Administrator Share Posted July 14, 2018 Sarri is very much a two box to box midfielders kind of guy. I’d be surprised if Kante was sold as he fits his modus operandi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liquidator 259 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I have to say as a club who are no strangers to stealing players from other clubs who have agreed terms with selling clubs players n even got one player off another London clubs medical table to sign, this latest mugging is particularly hilarious. Everything going for City, yet they get a public embarrassment which pips Tottenham's moment with Willian. Wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
