Jorginho has been earmarked as a potential replacement for veteran midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is expected to leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta and director of football Mateu Alemany have been working on finding a perfect candidate to take the role of the club’s midfield pivot from Busquets.

They preferably want to secure a cheap deal amid their current financial woes, and Jorginho fits the bill.

However, Xavi is eager for Barcelona to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi, 23, as Busquets’ replacement instead of Jorginho.
