Chelsea midfielder, Jorginho, has revealed he was ‘close’ to joining Manchester City three years ago.
The Italian international also insisted that he is ‘very, very happy’ to have joined Chelsea instead.
Jorginho was signed for Chelsea by the club’s former manager, Maurizio Sarri, for £50million from Napoli in July 2018.
At the time, Pep Guardiola’s side was also linked with the 29-year-old midfielder.
“It was close [for me to join Man City], but it didn’t happen. It is how it works in football sometimes,” Jorginho told BT Sport.
“I am very, very happy at Chelsea. It is a massive club and everyone here at the moment, the atmosphere is so good because everyone is humble.
“That is why everything is going so well.”
Jorginho was named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year recently after Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph.
