Chelsea midfielder Jorginho is prepared to wait for Barcelona’s contract offer in January before deciding his future, according to Sport.
Over the past four years, the Italian has been a mainstay for the London giants.
However, he is about to reach the final six months of his contract with new terms that have not yet been approved.
The 30-year-old wants a 25% pay increase on his £120,000 weekly income, but Chelsea hasn’t consented to his requests.
Spanish outlet Sport now claim that the midfielder has a commitment with Barcelona and he will listen to their contract proposal in the New Year before considering options elsewhere.
Additionally, it is said that the Euro 2020 champion is awaiting a new Chelsea offer.
Jorginho wants to sort out his future in January rather than waiting until next summer.
