Chelsea midfielder Jorginho jokingly walked out of a recent interview after being questioned about his future in west London.
The midfielder’s current deal at Stamford Bridge is set to expire next summer and there’s already been a number of clubs rumoured to be interested in signing him – such as AC Milan and Barcelona.
In an interview with Sky Sports Italia, he was asked about his future and suggested he was in talks with the club about signing a deal, before simply saying: ‘It’s normal to speak about it [his future].’

Last month, his agent Joao Santos claimed his client is determined to stay at Chelsea despite reports linking him with a move away.
The 46-cap international, if he does not sign a new deal, can arrange with a club outside England to sign for them for nothing from summer 2023 at the end of the season.

Jorginho, who signed for Maurizio Sarri for £57million in July 2018, has played 205 games for the Blues in all competitions, scoring 29 goals – mostly from the penalty spot – and winning a Champions League and Europa League title.
With influential defensive midfielder N’Golo Kante also out of contract next summer, current manager Graham Potter may be keen to tie Jorginho down to fresh terms.
Kante is reportedly close to agreeing a pre-contract deal with Barcelona as soon as January, as Xavi looks to sign the Frenchman to bolster his midfield next season.
