Juventus are reportedly banking on Chelsea missing out on qualifying for next year's Champions League in order to complete a move for Jorginho in what could potentially be a cut-price deal. Chelsea currently occupy a top-four spot heading into their final game of the season against Wolves today (4pm).

But it also gives teams more bargaining power if teams enquire about any of their players.
Chelsea look set to sell Jorginho with Juventus locked in negotiations with the Blues.
Maurizio Sarri wants to link back up with the Italy international at Juventus, but they're waiting to see what happens on the final day of the Premier League season.
According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, Juventus are in no hurry to make a deal happen.
It is claimed that Juventus are confident of getting a better price for Jorginho if Chelsea fail to qualify for next year's Champions League.
Juventus have already completed a deal to sign Arthur from Barcelona to bolster their midfield options, but Sarri is keen to link back up with Jorginho.
The 28-year-old was a star performer under Sarri at Napoli and he was one of the Italian coach's first signings at Stamford Bridge when he took over in 2018.
But Jorginho has struggled to fit into Lampard's system since Sarri left and was left out of the squad for the first four matches after the restart.
