Transfer: Xavi's stance on signing Barcelona with Chelsea's Jorginho revealed
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández's stance on signing Jorginho from Chelsea has been revealed.
According to El Nacional, Xavi doesn't want the Italian midfielder at Camp Nou.
Jorginho has been named as a potential replacement for veteran midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is expected to leave Barcelona at the end of the season.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta and director of football Mateu Alemany have been working on the search for a perfect candidate to take up the pivotal midfield role for Busquets' club.
They would rather get a cheap deal amid their current financial woes, and Jorginho fits the bill.
However, Xavi is eager for Barcelona to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi, 23, as a replacement for Busquets instead of Jorginho.
Jorginho's current contract with Chelsea expires next summer and he will be available as a free agent.
The 30-year-old has reportedly decided not to sign a new contract with Chelsea, paving the way for Barcelona's arrival.
