Gerard Pique's quick-fire Barcelona exit has opened up funds for a move for Chelsea midfielder Jorginho in January.
Barca are targeting two players in the coming window, with Athletic Bilbao defender Inigo Martinez earmarked as a replacement for Pique in central defence.
But it is estimated that Pique has saved the Catalan giants between £44million and £65m by retiring mid-contract and that means there is money available for a move for the Blues’ Italy star as well. Barcelona coach Xavi told the Spanish press on Friday that he has to bring in a central defender but his interest in Jorginho is also well-known.
