Chelsea midfielder Jorginho insists he is not thinking about moving to another club even if manager Maurizio Sarri decides to go elsewhere.

Sarri is one of the main contenders to succeed Massimiliano Allegri at Juventus, who is leaving this summer after five years at the helm.

The 60-year-old still has one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, with an option for another 12 months, but Juventus believe he would consider a return to Italy.

"I'll always have something new to learn and I've seen consistent growth throughout the season."
