Sarri is a fan of Jorginho and saw the Italy international as a key part of the footballing philosophy he was trying to establish at the west London club.

The Italian coach left Chelsea to take over at Juventus last summer but wants to be reunited with Jorginho again.

According to Italian-based transfer expert Nicolo Schira , Jorginho is Sarri's main target in the upcoming transfer window.

However, the 28-year-old is also wanted by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, who have both made enquires about the midfielder.
