Barcelona are reportedly interested in pursuing a deal for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho during the summer transfer window.
While the 29-year-old has sometimes failed to impress at Stamford Bridge, he has emerged as a key player since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel.
The Italy international has featured in 20 of Tuchel's 25 matches in charge, an indication that he will be wanted at Stamford Bridge next season.
However, Sport claims that Barcelona are keen to sign Jorginho, potentially proposing a part-exchange deal involving Miralem Pjanic.
The 31-year-old has failed to make an impact during his first season at Camp Nou, making 13 starts and 15 substitute appearances in all competitions.
With Jorginho still possessing two years on his contract, Chelsea are unlikely to contemplate a sale unless the player expresses a desire to take on a new challenge.
